1. A computer-implemented method for automatically preparing data from a data object used in an enterprise software application, the method comprising: receiving updates for first and second data objects, the data objects each comprising hierarchical data with at least one node and associated with a service-oriented enterprise software application; mapping from the first data object to a first structured data element using a first mapping agent; creating, by the first mapping agent, at least one table corresponding to the nodes of the hierarchical data of the first data object, the at least one table including information from one or more fields of the node and facilitating extraction of data from the first data object based on the identified mapping, the at least one table including fields populated with data from corresponding node fields; and mapping from the second data object to a second structured data element using the first mapping agent, the mapping from both the first and second data objects to first and second respective structured data elements based on the at least one table and including: identifying a top node in the hierarchical data of the data object, and progressing from the top node of the hierarchical data to an anchor node of the hierarchical data, a relationship between the top node and anchor node defining a main path of progression for mapping of the respective data object.
