Your environment may include multiple data warehouses, data marts, operational data stores, as well as data being reported on from your Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, customer relation management (CRM), financial systems, etc. We will examine your data warehousing environment within the context of the reporting and analytical tools and data spread out among these systems.

Two areas we examine:

1. Does the current information systems provide the business with the information they need to examine and analyze the business in a timely manner to be able to have a positive impact on it?
   
2. Are the current information systems architected and deployed in an effective and efficient manner enabling IT to deliver these systems with high ROI.

We will review the data warehouse and business intelligence environment with your business sponsors, business users, IT management, IT support staff and the DW/BI team. We review your current systems and, if appropriate, your future plans. We will objectively assess where you are compared to best practices.

Our deliverables will provide a review and if appropriate recommendations in the following areas:

• Meeting of business requirements
  
• Available business functionality
  
• Business knowledge of available systems
  
• Business ease of use of available systems
  
• Data warehouse and business intelligence architecture
