| If you don't know the facts about your business, how can you measure its success?
The truth is that most companies spend millions of dollars each year buying information
when they could be obtaining more valuable results by harvesting their organizational
data. Recent studies indicate that organizations involved in the design and deployment of
data warehouses over the past three to five years are now positioning themselves for
information delivery. Analysts indicate that an average growth rate of 30-45% will occur
in the business intelligence market through 1999. With
the shift in focus moving from data management to data access, it is becoming increasingly
critical that data warehouses be integrated with analysis tools and business intelligence
applications to satisfy the needs of business. A company is only as good as its ability to
adapt to ever-changing market demands. Knowledge/Data Management is a powerful component
in meeting these challenges.
Providing Solutions for Information Delivery
Our approach to Data Management is to employ a proven methodology fundamental to CoreTech:
The Solution Development Framework (SDF). SDF uses an
iterative and parallel model to compress calendar time during the solution development
process with clearly defined milestone checkpoints. The process is accomplished by
applying the following basic steps:
• Defining business
information needs
• Identifying data that will satisfy those needs
• Providing tools to guide users through the process of
using
data to discover hidden relationships and
trends
• Provide processes for continuous business intelligence
discovery
These steps are applied to five major concentrations within
Data Management to ensure the successful delivery of solutions:
• Data Management
• Data Administration
• Database Design and Modeling
• Data Mining and Analysis
• Business Intelligence
CoreTech's Data Management team has demonstrated experience
applying SDF for the transformation of data to information for many Fortune 2000
organizations. We are skilled in the latest, best-of-breed technologies.
