Data
Warehouses, and dependent Data Marts are
essentially large databases. All the data in the world, however, is
meaningless if it’s not well organized, or cannot be reported on in a
measurable, repeatable, and comprehensive way. Simply put if an
organization does not capture its data, it cannot report on it, and
therefore can’t improve.
Central
to any Data Warehousing effort are well designed and efficient
business rules to ensure data is standardized, cleansed and
meaningful. This is accomplished through business rules, or an
Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) process that filters what enters
the Data Warehouse.
Piper’s
consultants have built Data Warehouses (and related Data Marts) for a
wide range of enterprises from Telecoms to Courthouses. Their
expertise has resulted in millions of dollars in savings, better
allocation of employees, and greater visibility into changing
situations (such as new legislation, or economic conditions). Piper’s
consultants are also experts at the Data Warehouse lifecycle,
building meaningful metadata, conforming dimensions, and cross
enterprise reporting challenges, and all consultants have led several
major Data Warehouse initiatives at large Public organizations or
Fortune 100 Businesses.
