Data Warehousing
Many businesses have realized that the only way to sustain an advantage in today's economic climate is to leverage information better than their competition. It is imperative to the success of any data warehousing effort to handle the development in small, manageable projects that are closely aligned with business needs and priorities. The business subject areas (e.g. customer, product, and account) should form the basis for each of these small projects and the comprehensive data warehouse.
With its significant knowledge of relevant business data requirements and related issues, EZEN is well suited to assist organizations in planning and defining their data warehouse needs.
EZEN's data warehouse service offerings are delivered by consultants who bring knowledge and experience in business systems development, expertise in current data warehousing tools and techniques, and proven facilitation skills. EZEN practices knowledge-transfer throughout the delivery of these offerings, thereby letting clients control their data warehouse environment once the client sign-off has been obtained.
