Data Architecture Team Creation
We can demonstrate how to assemble and train your team to address today’s cloud computing platforms. Team structure and functionality are key components we address.
Tool Assessment and Selection
Having the right tool for the job is paramount in data warehousing. Too many vendors offer tools that lock you into their special methodology, which may not be an industry standard. We assess tools based on the need of our clients, not the vendor sales pitch. If a particular tool doesn’t follow standard industry methodology or have the ability to change to that methodology, we will show our clients why and help them select something else.
Data Modeling
We are continually amazed at the number of data projects that have been and are conducted without proper, and in many cases, no data modeling. Many times, this occurs as projects are staffed with technical resources that lack data modeling experience, or even worse, no business background. Our process starts with comprehensive conceptual business modeling that helps uncover the entities, attributes relationships and business rules that are critical to your organization. We then develop a physical data model that becomes the basis for your data warehouse architecture.
