Working With Us
You can expect professional and practical solutions from us. We understand that
there are many solutions for problems and you can expect us to use our experience
to advise and implement the best solution for you.
Client Challenges and Expected Results
Inconsistent reporting of the same measure across different departments
We would help identify and clarify the business rules defining these numbers. In
some cases a business rules definition document signed off by the various departments
may be the most expedient solution. Once the document is well defined the data warehouse
can be utilised to provide the One Version of the Truth we are ultimately aiming
to achieve.
Data sources not consolidated
Whatever the data source, from Excel to SQL Server to Oracle - we have a proven
track record of being able to extract useful information and feed a consolidated
data warehouse. Whether it be summarised call centre records or transaction level
log files from an EPOS system, we have done it all.
Inefficient use of resources
The time saved on creating manual reports and automating them can usually be measured
in hours per week per employee. We often have a requirement to produce standard
Excel or PDF files in a format the business is used to. This is achievable and is
often the difference between a project getting approval or not.
Obtaining 'know-how' and best practices
We are continuously keeping up-to-date with current technologies and best practices
for business intelligence and KPI Selection. It is a vast and often daunting area
so our aim is to hide the complexities from you, but deliver the solution which
best fits your needs.
Guiding Beliefs and Values
Consolidata believes in an honest and open approach to solving your data warehousing
requirements. We believe that there is a lot of measurable value in your business
data. All it takes is some expertise to organise and design an efficient system
from where all your reports and measurements may be extracted from.
Our Approach
Our consultants approach all projects with an open-mind and discuss with the project
sponsor the goals and requirements of the system. We will make suggestions based
on our experience of similar projects and finally we would present to you a proposal
and cost for the solution in mind. Because we are flexible in our approach we may
even prescribe a solution based on your current licensing and software in-house,
or suggest licensing SQL Server 2005 in-house or hosting the solution for you without
you worrying about software or hardware. Each solution has advantages and disadvantages
and pricing may vary accordingly.
What Makes Us Different?
We concentrate on the difficult part - consolidating the data We can offer an in-house
consultancy solution or a hosted web-enabled solution which can be considerably
more cost effective especially if your IT department is smaller
We are a small, dynamic team that is highly customer-focused and adaptable
