ETL - The Workhorse
Extract, Transform, Load. ETL. It sounds so easy but it's chronically underestimated in complexity. Trust the most critical aspect of your data warehouse to our expert consultants who can architect amazing data integration solutions with forward-thinking innovation. We develop repeatable processes moving large volumes of dissimilar data into common relationships that ultimately provide business users with unified views and insights into their business operations. Some features of our data integration designs include re-usable job components, strong models for enforcing referential integrity, self-healing error systems, robust metadata management, source data lineage techniques, and efficient change data capture methods for retaining data history.
Our ETL jobs are optimized to be blazing fast and integrated into your Enterprise Scheduler for workload automation via batch or web services basis. We can drive your enterprise data integration projects using your data integration technology or leading applications such as IBM Infosphere, Informatica or one of the emerging iPaas (integration platform as a service) cloud-based technologies.
Business Rules
When building a Data Warehouse, it's good practice to minimize embedded business rules where possible. The business requirements, however, typically require robust data transformation rules to enrich the data and overcome upstream business process deficiencies or inconsistencies among multiple sources that manifest in poor data quality. In fact many times the business, acting as shadow IT, is doing these transformations outside of mainstream BI applications which then become the authoritative data source of reporting to executive management. Our business analysts and data integration architects are skilled at designing sustainable, documented business rules that leverage master data systems to apply business rules to data. Make your Business Intelligence applications running on the Data Warehouse relevant again to the Business while they work to fix the upstream business processes over the long-term.
