services

For more than 20 years, we have specialized in helping firms like yours manage their information assets—but we do it by concentrating on one client at a time. (Please review our Managing Director's bio for more specifics.) Key to your high level of satisfaction is mutual recognition of the importance of the customer (please see our Statement of Customer Centricity).

The following are examples of specific areas of expertise from which you may benefit:

  • Using business requirements to create a viable information architecture
  • Understanding when and where to use the Inmon or Kimball approach (or a hybrid of both)
  • Producing a correct corresponding physical model and database-specific implementation
  • Developing appropriate user-friendly techniques to access the required information
  • Optimizing the warehouse for the appropriate environment such as client-server applications or “webhouse” support
  • Enabling the infrastructure to change and adapt as underlying business needs evolve

One of the most important services available to you combines all of the above: helping you decide which tools will—or will not—allow you to optimally manage your information assets.

In accordance with our goal of helping each and every client become self-sufficient and highly successful, knowledge transfer is a primary focus of all activities. So, for each task we ensure that you understand not only the “hows” but also the “whys.”

For each project, we believe in working ourselves out of a job—so to speak!
