Data Warehousing
The exponential growth of data within client infrastructures is making it more difficult to access decision-support information in a timely, relevant manner – the type of information needed to be competitive and responsive. Paragon provides data warehousing and analytics solutions to deliver the insight required to support near real-time strategic and tactical decisions. Our Data Management team is experienced in the design and development of data warehouses and data marts to deliver optimal performance today and scalability as you need it.
The complexity of a data warehouse requires the rigor of proven design and development methodologies. Our team will help you with each step of the process:
- Selection – Not all data is created equal. Data that is not necessary for strategic analysis is not incorporated into the development of the data warehouse.
- Extraction – Selected data is extracted from the source systems and repositories
- Transformation – Data representation is transformed from a variety of coding structures among the data sources into one structure.
- Integration – Data from multiple sources is combined into a standardized, optimized source.
- Assurance – Data is cleansed and validated to meet quality expectations. The validation may detect an error that requires a manual or automated fix.
- Preparation – Data is prepared for loading in the staging area by making a back up of the data, and sequencing the sources and data before loading into the warehouse.
Tool Implementation
The most common tools used to implement and operate a data warehouse are those used for extraction, transformation and loading (ETL), on-line analytical processing and exception reporting and alerting. Paragon has experience installing, configuring and testing those tools most appropriate for productivity and success.
