Benefits of Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence services provided by us. What are Data Warehouse and Business Intelligence?

Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence terms refer to the creation of information out of data by using various technologies. It results in a robust decision support system (DSS) for the business. A typical data warehouse life cycle would include analyzing data and source systems, recording business requirements, designing the data warehouse to meet the business requirements, extracting and loading data into the data warehouse and creating reports using reporting tools. We provide experts for all stages of the data warehouse lifecycle and overall project management services.

Various tools are used to analyze the data. These analytical systems are based on OLAP (On Line Analytical Process) technology. Multidimensional OLAP is the technology where data is stored in propriety form called as OLAP Cubes. Relational OLAP is a way to represent multidimensional data in a relational database and is represented in the database by Star Schemas. Both MOLAP and ROLAP format of data allows business to slice and dice the data. It also allows to aggregate data or dig deeper into the details (Roll up or Drill down).

This dimensional way of representing data allows business to get answers to many of the problems that the business faces. It allows seeing information in a new perspective. It also allows users to mine data using various data mining algorithms and systems. Data mining can revel patterns in business that can be used as competitive advantage or allow saving costs.
