Twin Bridge Consulting Group Ltd’s (TBCG) Business Intelligence Technical Review is a
structured and comprehensive technical review of your company’s existing BI
architecture - from the underlying systems infrastructure, to the integration and
management of data sources, to the data warehouse environment, to the front-end analytics
and business applications.
Why should your company invest in a BI Technical Review?
Performance:
Most data warehouse & BI implementations suffer from
performance issues at some point in their lifecycle; operational data volumes
can increase substantially as modeling and end user requirements change. ETL
bottlenecks are common place, as are slow query times, long reporting cycles and frustrated
users.
Scalability:
Data warehouse or BI initiatives often need to plan for new business growth. Business
analysts or regulatory compliance may suddenly dictate how that data is modeled over 5 years
rather than 12 months. Increases or changes in usage e.g. daily rather than weekly
reporting may cripple system resources and response times. A review is used to check
for architectural bottlenecks and plan for business scalability.
Data Quality Issues:
Data quality issues can undermine the value of
any analytics produced by your reporting application and put BI initiatives at risk.
Poor information can lead to poor business and operational decisions, as well as risk of
non-compliance.
Risk Management:
For projects about to go live, the BI
technical review provides an independent audit before costly issues occur in production and
the project launch is deemed a failure.
Stability & User Complaints:
BI environments can be
complex and costly - integration and stability issues can undermine end user adoption. If
your environment is suffering from technical issues and end user complaints, the technical
review is the best step towards fixing it.
Reduce Cost of Ownership:
The review can be used to
optimize complex end-to-end system resources; and to assess and improve operational & business
processes.
The key output from the review is an in depth report, which includes:
Assessment: a statement of the system's current state at a component level.
Modification: recommendations for immediate changes to address specific issues.
Direction: a road map detailing specific actions to address future challenges.
TBCG understands the significant investments corporations put into data warehouse
initiatives. TBCG wants to ensure this investment is running very lean and is delivering
the expected performance and results your business users demand.
