CHALLENGE
Transforming data into meaningful informaton is replete with business and technical
challenges. Organizatons are faced with a myriad of data across their organizatons and
require resources and technical skills to design, build, analyze, report, and support the vast
amounts of informaton to improve enterprise performance. Your business intelligence (BI)
soluton requires resources with specialized technical and business skills, familiarity with
latest BI technologies, and the ability to contnuously support the BI environment.
OUR SERVICES
Business Requirements: Business intelligence is about how your business operates and
not how your data sources are organized. Consequently, the process of identfying your
requirements and aligning them to your business processes is critcal.Our proven and
repeatable methodology, Iteratons, provides a framework to guide you through this
challenging process.
Business Conceptual Model and Design: The enterprise conceptual model is developed
by undertaking two main actvites. The frst is to identfy the organizaton’s core business
processes and the second is to identfy the BI subject areas that will be required to support
those business processes.
Data Warehouse Development: The data warehouse, and its component business subject
areas, is the foundaton of a successful BI soluton. We start with an analysis of your data
sources to ensure they can support your stated business requirements and map this data to
the subject areas. We confgure your chosen technology and build the extract, transform and
load (ETL) processes that will reorganize your data from a business perspectve to provide
valuable insights into your organizaton.
