| We help you define
data warehouse architecture. It is an
analysis process. Its purpose is to
understand the needs and requirements
of the business. We avoid the urge to
focus on solutions when developing architecture.
Strive with architecture to establish
standards for consistency and integration
among warehouse increments. Then defer
specific decisions about solutions to
the appropriate implementation project.
Data warehouse architecture defines
the overall purpose, goals, structure,
and standards for the data warehouse,
and describes the plan for its development
and implementation. Architectural
development begins with goals and
drivers of the business, and concludes
with a plan to incrementally implement
a data warehouse that supports those
goals.
Starting with business goals, develop
a business architecture describing
how the business plans to meet its
goals and the role that technology
will assume in that plan.
Use the business plan to help define
a technical architecture which describes
the data, application, and technology
structures necessary to implement
business and technology plans. |
