Data Warehousing

Data Warehousing is the process of combining various data sources in a way that allows you to access a consistent view of data across the organization resulting in fact-based, timely, accurate decisions. Building an integrated, scalable Data Warehouse with a solid business intelligence tool enables rapid, calculated change to keep companies ahead of their competition.

Advantage^MS personnel have built a wide variety of Data Warehouses from small data marts with only one data source to enterprise wide, scalable Data Warehouse solutions with numerous, complex data sources. We have experience in many of the leading business intelligence tools including Business Objects, Microstrategy, Cognos, Proclarity, and Hummingbird. We are also well versed in a variety of source systems, hardware, databases, and ETL tools. That combined with our Healthcare data services, resource allocation, sales force automation, sales operations, call planning, territory optimization, and web technologies enables us to put together the right combination of products that meet the various needs of our clients in a timely manner.

A Data Warehouse is an evolving project within any organization, but we at Advantage^MS believe in and execute rapid, incremental development that allows our clients to quickly take advantage of the service we provide and reap the benefits of having a clearer view of their own organization. Our systematic, documented approach to managing a project ensures our success and gives our clients confidence along the way.

Building a Data Warehouse forces companies to re-evaluate and fine-tune their business processes while unlocking the power of one of their greatest assets, their own data. We have been through numerous projects and thrive on helping our clients to effectively manage their information and turn it into action.
