Enterprise Data Architecture Engineering
With data growing at a staggering rate, the way you get to your data is just as important to overall enterprise adoption, as the data itself. Many businesses rely on an analytics solutions as a central hub for connecting data from multiple applications, databases, servers, and external data sources.
Business Analytics Implementation Services
IBM’s Cognos portfolio provides a robust solution to meet the demands across all industries. Many of those industries live outside of the tech space. Companies in agriculture, healthcare, manufacturing, and financial services want to focus on what they do best, not navigate the waters of a BI implementation. Our understanding of the IBM analytics portfolio coupled with an extensive understanding of the systems that drive it, allow for a smooth and less invasive implementation for the end user.
Data Integration, Management, & Warehouse Services
A data warehouse provides the foundation for Business Intelligence by providing access to the appropriate data in an effective and optimized manner. The two main components of a data warehouse are the design of a robust data model that translates business concepts into a logical, efficient format, alongside the development of effective ETL (Extraction, Transformation & Loading) processes.
Our team of data architects focus on three critical data warehouse activities: implementation, data mart development, and built in audit control.
