the benefits of
a common BI platform
“Our BI solution works fine without a data warehouse” – That may be true for some organisations, but the difference between a BI solution with a data warehouse and one without can be huge.
- Automated business rules provide reliable figures.
- Reliable figures lead to less debate and more time for analysis.
- A common lingua franca in the organisation helps show the big picture while still providing access to important details.
- An overview that harvests data from all sources allows you to connect the dots between cause and effect.
- Instant reporting. Simple to use.
maintenance of
master data
A data warehouse is only as strong as the data basis it is built on. We have years of experience building data warehouses and extracting data from a variety of data sources. You get the full benefit of this knowledge and experience when you use the Inspari ETL Toolkit – a framework that provides you with robust, reliable data and business processes harvested from multiple sources.
The Inspari ETL Toolkit is intended for power users who need to process master data, business processes and more based on the ETL principles of extracting, transforming and loading.
Through best in practice software design, we collect data from different source systems, transform that data to knowledge and store it in a data warehouse. All this data is now at your beck and call, adding value throughout your organisation.
What you get with the Inspari ETL Toolkit:
- Quality-controlled business intelligence based on ETL best practices
- Effective development based on proven templates
- Smooth transfers between developers due to uniform components
- Efficient, professional support thanks to stable, uniform solutions
- The ability to scale the BI solution as your organisation grows
data warehouse
concepts
Do you know the fundamentals regarding data warehouses?
1) Data-warehouse requirements: At Inspari we find that the best processes around data-warehouse development start by charting business concepts and requirements. Conceptual modelling is a technique used in connection with workshops. The advantage is that we can bring together interested parties from different departments and create a joint framework rooted in the company. This creates a good basis for the more technical work that follows.
2) Data-warehouse platform: It is important to have the right platform and the requisite services. At Inspari we are specialists in Microsoft SQL Server – a platform with a number of services from which one can select as necessary. For example, with the platform’s data-warehouse reporting tool it is possible to design, adapt and deliver robust reports containing information from various sources. Ranging from paper-based, interactive and web-based reports through to embedded or ad hoc reports. Read more about integration, master data and analytics services.
data warehouse
software
What are your software requirements? You maybe need a customised data warehouse design, and you probably need to integrate your data warehouse with a front-end tool. Microsoft SQL Server is Microsoft’s business-intelligence and data-warehouse platform, and it is used by many companies and systems for management of various types of database. The platform can help you gain greater insight into your data and achieve faster results with this data. Or to put it another way: You will quickly move from data warehouse to analysis and from analysis to visualisation in your preferred BI front-end tool, where business magic takes place.
