The Challenge

Our client's existing data warehouse and disparate reporting systems were slow and cumbersome, leading to many opportunity losses. The problems included

  • Managing multiple reporting systems on different platforms and related integration issues
  • Inability of the existing data warehouse, which was developed using home-grown tools and stored procedures, to scale with growth
  • Lack of a comprehensive data model to effectively leverage the functionality of Oracle PeopleSoft EPM
  • Frequent issues related to the maintenance of the overall system

  • Developed the DW architecture, leveraging Oracle PeopleSoft EPM

  • Spearheaded the DataStage ETL design, development, and performance tuning efforts
  • Designed and developed business intelligence reporting

  • Designed and developed several reporting modules, including accounts receivables, royalties, and sales commissions
