Data Warehousing

The data warehouse has become the centerpiece of information-centric enterprises. A data warehouse enables an intelligent enterprise to make strategic decisions on facts rather than intuition and improve the quality of day-to-day business transactions. To make a data warehousing program successful, it should be business driven rather than technology driven and avoid a boil-the-ocean approach, thus focusing on specific business deliverables and addressing pressing business needs. We challenge the traditional view of the market that data warehousing solutions are long drawn, extremely expensive propositions for an enterprise to develop. We believe in bringing business value in 12 to 18 week cycle on the initial release, then new business value in 4 to 8 weeks depending upon requirements and your company’s internal development methods.

Our data warehousing professional service includes design, and development of an Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW), data marts, and Operational Data Stores (ODS). In addition to this, one of our most important service offerings is to fix data warehouse solutions or programs that have gone bad. For example, a data warehouse that has lost touch with business users and plagued by extremely low user adoption rate.
