Business Intelligence solutions are always more successful (and in many
cases only successful) when the underlying data is properly structured. Data warehousing
can be a critical component of your project success, so BITadvisors encourages
all customers to seriously consider the structure of their data prior to embarking upon a
major BI deployment.
Our consultants have the capability to model and build enterprise data marts and warehouses
and are also practiced with Data Quality management, Data Cleansing and Meta Management applications.
Our warehousing services are geared for companies that need to report and
analyze data coming from multiple applications and databases which are not practical for reporting and analysis.
Many of the systems used today are transactional based (OLTP) which,
though excellent for storing data quickly, are not efficient for reporting and analysis.
Our staff works with you to define your reporting goals and requirements and quickly implement a
data mart which can be used to answer the most challenging questions about your operations. We use a
proven approach and design a schema based upon best practices and the Kimball Methodology. If necessary, we can
help you decide on the software tools and hardware platform for your
data mart.
In addition to requirements gathering and documentation, we design a database schema using industry leading tools
and install/configure any ETL processes that may be used to populate the
data mart/warehouse and refresh its data in a time interval that is
practical for your business. We then test your data mart to ensure 100% accuracy and optimal performance is achieved.
Besides custom coding, we have extensive consulting experience with various ETL products including:
- SAP Business Objects Data Integrator
- Cognos DataManager
- Informatica PowerMart
- SQL Server Data Transformation Services (DTS)
- SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS)
- Oracle Warehouse Builder (OWB)
