The Impact of the newly emerging field of Financial Data Quality Management (FDQM) on Group Reporting and Performance Management Processes 2007-04-10 14:59:40 Hyperion

Data quality management could be regarded as the less glamorous end of the Reporting Supply Chain (RSC). After all, most of the attention and interest are lavished on the latest portal, reporting tool or dashboard. Yet, mismanagement or neglect of underlying balance information or interfaces can place the integrity of the whole process in jeopardy. In recent years, financial reporting processes have become intertwined with other key management processes such as budgeting, planning, forecasting, scorecarding and analytics to form a broader performance management platform sharing common data structures.

N.C. Central University Selects SAS Enterprise BI Server, SAS ETL Server 2007-01-05 01:00:23 SAS Institute

As North Carolina Central University (NCCU) rapidly grows in size and stature, the number of time-consuming, ad hoc requests for information has increased dramatically, and the university needed to find a way to quickly and accurately retrieve, analyze and transform data via the Web so their university leaders who depend on this information can make decisions with confidence. They found the clear answer to these challenges in SAS, which is already enabling them to build and access new reports through a simple point-and-click interface. NCCU has selected SAS Enterprise BI Server and SAS ETL Server software.

SQL Server 2005 Gives Microsoft IT FeedStore Group Enterprise-Grade ETL and Encryption 2007-01-01 01:00:30 Microsoft

When managers at Microsoft Corporation need information, they turn to a repository called FeedStore. As the largest software company in the world, with revenues exceeding U.S.$34 billion, Microsoft has critical need for the 2-terabyte FeedStore database. FeedStore, which pulls data from 39 internal sources and feeds some 500 subscribing applications, was running flawlessly on Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition. But the company upgraded to SQL Server 2005 in order to take advantage of the next-generation, enterprise-grade features, tools, and enhancements. SQL Server 2005 Integration Services for Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) processes is a major new enterprise-level feature being deployed for FeedStore.

HypoVereinsbank Takes Control With SAS 2006-12-27 01:00:56 SAS Institute

European banking giant HypoVereinsBank (HVB) wanted to improve portfolio quality and control. In 2004, HVB created the Active Credit Portfolio Management (ACPM) Division to change the Corporates & Markets business division's credit portfolio management from "Buying and storing" credits to active management. Portfolio managers needed a reliable way to actively control their portfolios. HVB is now using SAS to centralize its credit portfolio management while helping to diversify its holdings and avoid risk.

MSDN Webcast: Microsoft Application Platform Technologies in Manufacturing (Level 200) 2006-12-23 01:00:24 Microsoft

This webcast explores some concrete examples of how the manufacturing industry can benefit from adopting the Microsoft application platform. The viewer will learn how Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) applications can be enhanced by the flexibility and intuitiveness offered by Windows Workflow Foundation. The presenters show how the expressive power of Windows Communication Foundation provides the capability to integrate the most diverse systems, from Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) applications to OLE for Process Control (OPC)-compliant devices, using standard protocols or accommodating proprietary ones.

HP Reference Configuration for Business Intelligence: HP Integrity Superdome Servers With 64 Intel Itanium 2 Processors and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 2006-12-27 01:00:55 Hewlett-Packard

Organizations are consolidating Business Intelligence (BI) applications from multiple servers, and the number of source systems is growing. Many solutions based on 32-bit architecture are reaching their limits. This white paper describes a reference 64-bit hardware and software configuration to support a high-end data warehouse/OLAP solution based on the scalable power of HP Integrity Superdome systems, enterprise-class HP StorageWorks XP12000 Disk Array storage and Microsoft SQL Server 2005.

Keeping Up With the Times 2006-11-08 01:00:18 Oracle

This paper provides an approach to implementing one of the more demanding types of transformations: the dreaded Type 2 Slowly Changing Dimension (SCD). Although this technique may be applicable to other type of transformations, it is particularly useful for the Type 2 SCD. The focus of this paper is the Type 2 SCD, as it is the most effective and most commonly used variety. The Type 2 SCD provides an approach for completely and elegantly tracking history, while conforming to the dimensional model for optimal performance. Although Oracle9i Warehouse Builder (OWB) does not have "Built-in" support for SCD transformations, one can easily implement them within the OWB framework.

Deploying Business Intelligence Solutions on Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and HP Integrity Servers 2006-12-27 01:00:55 Hewlett-Packard

This white paper is the first in a planned series of related BI-focused papers. The paper presents an example hardware and software configuration that demonstrates deploying the Data Warehouse and Data Transformation Services (DTS) and/or Extract Transform and Load (ETL) DTS/ETL components of a mid-range BI solution, capitalizing on the scalable power of HP 64-bit Integrity systems and Microsoft SQL Server 2005.
