Building a Better Data Warehouse and BI Environment

Information is a company's best asset and today's leading businesses are harnessing it to make real-time critical business decisions that will impact the company's bottom line, meet regulatory deadlines and address customer needs. But, how can companies be assured that the information is always accurate and up to date with data being integrated from disparate sources and with different standards?

IT organizations are required to tackle these data management issues head on and solve the complex issues around designing the infrastructure, ensuring data quality, understanding the source of data and business rules, managing the metadata and extracting and transforming it to standardized formats for a data warehouse. Yet, solving these issues can take many weeks and months while your business users wait impatiently for this critical information.
