DWH & BI audit

Data analytics, DWH and BI solution implementation is a journey, not a destination.

This journey often happens with efforts of several parties over the course of years. From time to time you have to look back, look forward, and assess: are you still doing the right thing? Are you convinced that your current architecture fits the future of your organization? Do you have concerns about the performance/security/usability/overall sanity of the solution?

A typical DWH audit project generally consists of several parts.

Technical architecture assessment

Experienced architects look though your current solution - the whole picture. It includes all data sources, data loading and transformation techniques, modelling and reporting tools as well as the overall performance, scalability and security of the data warehouse.

Interviews with users

We talk with key stakeholders from business and IT as well as the management of the company, in order to gather the information on what the current data analytics ecosystem is doing well, what are the pain points and wishes/vision for the future. We look into data quality, governance, security as well

Closing workshop

We summarize and structure all the findings and have a closing workshop with project owners, explaining and discussing the findings as well as sharing our conclusions and suggested action points.

Competent assessment of the status quo is the key input when deciding on the long-term strategy for your data analytics ecosystem.
