Project Description
Managing Your Growth Spurt with BI
The challenge was finding that platform. The company was a firm believer in the value of Business Intelligence, and the need to create a consolidated and amalgamated view of their entire organization in metrics that remained consistent. But, they were concerned their current BI option was no longer up to the task. Conventional Business Intelligence tools run out of steam at 15 – 100 million report files, and at that size, traditional service level agreements become insufficient to handle issues. As the data warehouse reaches its limit, response time increases, creating exactly the opposite of what you need in a thriving, global reaching, fast-paced organization.
Chateaux worked with the company on creating their OLAP transition strategy. A Chateaux Center of Excellence member worked with the organization’s IT department on creating the fundamentals of critical pre-defined queries to create the most functional and valuable data views across the organization. Chateaux’s technical expertise guided the company’s personnel in learning how to best use the tool. In six weeks, the trading firm was educated on everything from back-up to recovery.
Chateaux also helped protect existing data while transforming and adding to the overall structure to reduce the risk of losing critical information as the conversion progressed. The least amount of data disturbance ensured a smooth transition.
