Data Warehousing Overview
A data warehouse is the concept of data extracted from operational systems and made available as historical snapshots for ad-hoc queries and scheduled reporting. Characteristics that distinguish data in the data warehouse from data found in the operational environment are that it is: organized in such a way that relevant data is clustered together for easy access, several copies of the data from various points in time are kept together, and once the data is placed into the data warehouse it is not updated. Rather, the historical snapshots stored in the Data Warehouse are periodically refreshed with data from the operational databases.
Jaggy Data Warehousing Services
Business Intelligence solutions are always more successful (and in many cases only successful) when the underlying data is properly structured. Data warehousing can be a critical component of your project success, so Jaggy encourages all customers to seriously consider the structure of their data prior to embarking upon a major BI deployment.
Our warehousing services are geared for companies that need to report and analyze data coming from multiple applications and databases that are not practical for reporting and analysis. Many of the systems used today are transactional based (OLTP) which, though excellent for storing data quickly, are not efficient for reporting and analysis.
Our staff works with you to define your reporting goals and requirements and quickly implement a data mart which can be used to answer the most challenging questions about your operations. We use a proven approach and design a schema based upon best practices and the Kimball Methodology. If necessary, we can help you decide on the software tools and hardware platform for your data mart.
In addition to requirements gathering and documentation, we design a database schema using industry leading tools and install/configure any Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) processes that may be used to populate the data mart/warehouse and refresh its data in a time interval that is practical for your business. We then test your data mart to ensure 100% accuracy and optimal performance is achieved.
