Fundamentals of Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing |
(PDF) |
| |
Working on a business intelligence
(BI) or data warehousing (DW) project can be
overwhelming if you don’t have a solid grounding in the
basics. It’s difficult to focus on the goals of the
project if you’re bogged down by unanswered questions –
or don’t even know what questions to ask. By arming
yourself with knowledge of the concepts and
fundamentals, you can hit the ground running. This
course provides an overview that gives business and
information technology professionals the confidence to
dive right into their business intelligence and data
warehousing activities. This course will discuss the
drivers for these projects, their applications and uses,
how to design and architect business solutions, the
people and organizational factors, critical success
factors and risks, and best practices. This is a
two-day instructor led course.

Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing: Project Management |
(PDF) |
| |
Project management is especially
critical for a data warehouse project. Without good
management, projects are prone to being short on
required resources. They are late, over budget, low
quality and, most importantly, they don’t meet
expectations. The data warehouse or business
intelligence project manager must embrace new tasks and
deliverables, develop a different working relationship
with the users, and work in an environment that is far
less defined than with traditional operational systems.
The project management course helps managers develop the
skills they need to usher their projects through all
phases of planning and implementation. It provides a
solid basis on: test data, metadata planning, data
stewardship, governance, backup planning, ROI
measurement, documentation, support preparation, user
training, communications planning, and other elements of
a successful data warehouse. This is a
two-day instructor led course.

Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing: Architecture |
(PDF) |
| |
| It’s critical that data
warehouses are built with a solid architecture that
successfully integrates data and supports the needs of
the entire enterprise. But how do you choose which
architecture will work best for you? This course
explains the differences between the myriad architecture
choices and helps you sort through them to determine the
best fit for
your organization. We'll examine the size and
scope of the data warehousing program, expected timing
and frequency of deliverables, anticipated
return-on-investment, staff size and skill, available
tools and technology. You'll learn how to assess your
resources and requirements, and then make informed
decisions about the best data warehousing architectures
and methods for your organization. |
