Enterprise Data Warehousing (EDW) Assessment

An enterprise data warehousing assessment assists you in examining where you are and where you should be, and recommends how to initiate the process of designing an enterprise data warehousing solution. The assessment steps will:

• Ascertain your current environment and existing business needs.
• Compare above with industry best practices and benchmark your firm against other firms along the enterprise data warehousing maturity curve.
• Perform a gap analysis between where you are and where you should be.
• Recommend what steps would help move you towards an enterprise data warehousing solution.

The enterprise data warehousing assessment helps you regardless of where you are along the DW maturity stages. If you are new to enterprise data warehousing, it helps you determine your enterprise's readiness for EDW and provides recommendations for how you can get started. If you have reached the initial stages of enterprise data warehousing, it should assist you to determine specific steps you need to take to increase the business value of your data.
