DW/BI Assessment

We help you make improvements based on DW/BI industry standards and best practices. With our insights, you identify specific enterprise-class DW/BI capabilities and corresponding steps required to drive informed decision-making throughout the enterprise.

Our assessment examines your organization’s IT, application, architecture and data. We review the current infrastructure, applications, processes, and if appropriate, your future plans. We share our findings with key players in your solution, so the subsequent system works for all and results in complete acceptance across the organization.  We include the following groups in our assessments:

  • Business users
  • Business and IT management
  • IT support staff
  • DW/BI team

Our comprehensive assessment is professionally investigated and documented by our DW/BI experts. The structured assessment considers factors that shape your system:

  • Organization
    Evaluating the overall DW/BI organization in terms of funding & prioritization, project standardization, functional roles, valuation & risk and the learning approach for prior experience in DW/BI governance.
  • Users
    We look at user autonomy (self-service) and assess the DW/BI environment from the user’s perspective, considering availability of data, analytics, training and support.
  • Technology
    We evaluate the organization’s current DW/BI technology, analytic capabilities, architecture practice, in addition to data acquisition and integration.
  • Data
    Appraising data coverage, acquisition, integration, quality and management, as well as logical and semantic data modeling, data governance and stewardship.
