Data Warehousing & Business Intelligence

As our reliance on computers grows, we are storing significantly more data on our databases about our businesses. Although these huge amounts of data provide us with a very valuable information source, we are faced with the problem of how best to use this resource and to get at the data we really need.

Data Warehousing is an approach which has developed from the need to have consolidated company wide data and information available to all who need it for reporting purposes. Additionally, where the performance of the company's operational system is unaffected by the reporting function. This manifests as a separate scalable database designed specifically for reporting using for example the Dimensional design methodology.

Business intelligence describes the whole idea of using the data encapsulated in the data warehouse in the most effective way, to provide answers to the people who need them. There are a vast array of OLAP solutions available to suit most budgets and to provide a flexible and powerful reporting system for a business.

We work with clients to help analyze their reporting requirements and ascertain the best solution to meet their needs and budget.
