Avanade Intelligent Warehousing
Avanade® Information Architecture Services
Information is a critical business resource, just as important as raw materials are to a manufacturing process. However, as a recent Gartner study reports, “Collecting and analyzing the data is not enough — it must be presented in a timely fashion so that decisions are made as a direct consequence and which have a material impact on the productivity, profitability or efficiency of an organization.”* The data models within Avanade Intelligent Warehousing provide both the structure to organize your data and the foundational guidance that illustrates areas where information can add maximum value to help you achieve organizational goals.

Leverage your existing investments Avanade Intelligent Warehousing helps reduce costs and increase business performance. Our five-step data modeling process defines key areas of your business and their relationships to model critical business processes. Then we create a roadmap to incorporate other business processes according to a phased approach.
After assessing your business intelligence capabilities, we implement a data warehouse that leverages your existing investments in the Microsoft platform. This evaluation prepares your organization for tomorrow so you can achieve your long-term goals. As one of the industry’s largest and most experienced consultancies, Avanade partners with you to effectively maintain your system.
Lower your development time and costs Typically, the process of populating a data warehouse with relevant information—or the extract, transform and load (ETL) process—consumes 60 to 70 percent of the effort associated with building a data warehouse. Avanade ETL Framework, our best-practices guidance around data movement, comes in the form of prebuilt templates and data connectors. These innovative features, when combined with the Avanade Intelligent Warehousing solution, can help you drastically lower the development costs of your data warehouse.
Our tools help you visualize data model relationships and promote early and frequent feedback, so you can achieve the required results. When combined with the Avanade ETL Framework, your data warehouse can be built and populated quickly, with minimal business disruption.
Put critical data at your fingertipsOrganizations need access to historical information to make the decisions that positively affect the future of their businesses. Yet, this data often resides in disparate line-of-business applications and is not always in formats that people use. Avanade Intelligent Warehousing generates for your employees easily understood visuals of reliable, relevant information using Microsoft Power View and other familiar tools like Microsoft Office Excel, to bring together big data from across your organization
With a deeper understanding of your organizational data, you can effectively streamline operations, increase customer satisfaction and gain competitive advantage. Avanade Intelligent Warehousing, built on Microsoft SQL Server 2012, gives you the agile, iterative approach needed to reduce cost and risk while ensuring that everyone in your organization can make informed decisions using the same data.
An integrated data warehouse helps you achieve tangible business resultsWhether you’re developing a new data warehouse or extending one that already exists, Avanade Intelligent Warehousing accelerates the process. Our solution is guided by your strategic guidelines and rests on proven logical designs that produce actionable metrics. Understanding your organization’s value, drivers and business performance helps you deliver quickly on long-term objectives while gaining the insights you need to empower decision-makers.
