Business Modeling: A New Paradigm for Designing and Implementing Enterprise Data Warehouses 2005-10-25 03:00:03

An enterprise data warehouse provides management with information about what is happening in the business. It must present a single version of the truth from multiple perspectives - and quickly reflect organizational, regulatory, market and other business changes. This paper describes these Generic Modeling concepts and Kalido's patented approach for leveraging them to rapidly deliver and iteratively evolve flexible enterprise data warehouses containing meaningful and auditable business information. The paper explains what a business model is, how it really works to support change scenarios and contrasts it with other data warehousing design techniques.

Enabling Effective Decision Making 2005-10-26 13:22:04

In today's ever-changing business environment, effective decision making requires a strategic data integration infrastructure that dramatically improves efficiencies, eliminates the need for batch windows, deals with the growth of data volumes, delivers information in real-time, and reduces costs. Attunity Stream with Changed Data Capture (CDC) provides an enterprise-scale CDC solution that complements and works seamlessly with existing ETL, EAI, EII investments, as well as within a variety of BI and reporting environments.

Data Services - Resilient, available and higher-value database servers as the foundation for Information On Demand 2006-09-15 10:02:51 IBM

Learn how IBM Data Servers can provide you with: 1) a resilient and security-rich information management infrastructure that maximizes availability while minimizing planned outages; 2) a scalable, powerful solution that handles mixed workloads and spikes in demand to fully leverage your resources and help you fulfill service-level agreements (SLAs); 3) a productivity-boosting system with autonomic features that enable your information technology (IT) staff to work efficiently—maximizing resources and helping you to keep down the total cost of ownership; and 4) database servers that plug easily into your existing IT architecture.

CRM Knowledge Base and Data Infrastructure 2005-10-25 03:00:03

Many organizations perceive their current knowledge gap as a key inhibitor to CRM implementation. Many call on CRM vendors because although they collect "all the data they will ever need," they still find it difficult to grow their markets and businesses. They also understand their organization lacks real knowledge about markets, customers, prospects, products, competitors, and others. Maximizing the issues for most managers is the general belief that there is plenty of industry/market data available from external sources to supplement what data they may not have. However, they have been unsuccessful in delivering the information necessary for "optimizing" marketing and sales investments.

Alternative Approach for Enterprise Metadata Management 2006-02-24 01:01:25

Metadata management is an important aspect of today's data warehouse / business intelligence systems. Enterprises are beginning to realize that proper management of metadata can have a significant impact: increasing productivity of their staff and usability of their enterprise systems. Current approaches to building metadata management systems that utilize commercial off the shelf tools are generally inadequate, as well as expensive to implement. It is then no surprise that a large percentage of metadata management projects fail. This whitepaper discusses the challenges in implementing an enterprise-wide metadata management system for a data warehouse / business intelligence environment and describes a more effective approach to managing metadata.

Oracle Business Intelligence Warehouse Builder 10g Release 2 Experts in Action: Loading Data Into Oracle E-Business Suite 2006-03-09 01:07:59

As has been outlined in this paper, Experts are a new and revolutionary technology introduced with Oracle Business Intelligence Warehouse Builder 10g Release 2. This paper also outlines a real-life application of this technology. The BSC Expert turns OWB into a powerful tool specifically for BSC administrators to load and maintain BSC systems. With the Expert, BSC customers can expect quicker implementation times and lower administration cost. Experts truly vault OWB 10gR2 from being 'just' an ETL tool into being a platform and fundamental component of the Oracle Business Intelligence stack, helping users throughout the organization solve their data and metadata integration and quality needs.

OracleBI Warehouse Builder 10 G Release 2 - Integrating SAP Data 2006-03-09 01:14:29

One of the less well-known components of OracleBI Warehouse Builder is the SAP Integrator, which allows Extraction, Transformation and Loading (ETL) of SAP R/3 data into a reporting or warehouse environment. The SAP Integrator is a free of charge, embedded component of Warehouse Builder, allowing an ETL developer to treat SAP data as any other data in his environment. This paper gives an overview of the packaged applications functionality in Warehouse Builder and of the SAP Integrator in particular. It discusses some of the new features and enhancements provided with the 10gR2 release and details on possible implementations.

Value of Information for a 4D-Seismic Acquisition Project 2005-12-13 01:01:53

Decisions regarding data acquisition should involve a cost/benefit analysis. While cost identification usually is easy, determining the value gained from new data is especially difficult when the benefits are mostly indirect. This is the case with 4D-seismic projects in which the main contribution is to reservoir and production management. This paper describes the decision-tree process used in the life of complex seismic (LOCS) value-of-information study.

Evaluating the ROI from CardScan for CRM 2006-02-07 08:57:41

CardScan for CRM can deliver an initial ROI based solely on time saving in data entry and data correction. However, the greatest benefits come from being able to quickly and consistently capture more leads with complete and more accurate data, thus enabling companies to fully leverage the capabilities of their CRM systems.

The real ROI from streamlining the contact entry process for a CRM solution is not in saving time and correcting errors, but in leveraging the benefits of a common contact base across sales, marketing, and customer support – and reducing the potential missing contacts or incorrect contact details that result from manual data entry. Companies can expect initial ROI from reduced data entry and correction time and cost, but the greater ongoing ROI will come from enabling their sales and marketing managers to take advantage of strategic sales and relationship-building opportunities.
