analogous to


Explanation:
The German states that a modern data management system should deliver, "at the click of a button," highly valuable and current data in a manner analogous to that of modern core and initiative themes. On the other hand, it could be the data that are analogous to the new core and initiative themes, but I don't know what that would mean.

(Users ought to be able, at the push of a button, to get high-quality, updated data reflecting pivotal and trendsetting ideas from a modern data management system.)

"Analog bedeutet ja gleichartig, ähnlich, entsprechend." https://www.tagesspiegel.de/berlin/auf-deutsch-gesagt-proble...

I agree with the Tagesspiegel author but we need more tweaking in this case. A more literal translation may be harder to incorporate into the sentence.
