acctiva: expertise in business intelligence, data warehousing, data governance

Company introduction

www.acctiva.co.uk

In the old days people used outsourcing to save

money. For this they hired offshore suppliers at

lower rates. And received cheap hands to do

simple work.

In the end people lowered their short-term costs

and utilized additional pair of hands.

Even though sometimes these hands acted behind

people’s will.

driven by a vision 1

But times have changed!

Reducing costs is not enough anymore.


People now understand, they need not just

another pair of hands,

But hands and heads, who can meet people’s will

and understand people’s wishes.

These days people need not just an outsourcing

supplier…

But outsourcing partner to respond to changing

market conditions at a lower risk.


We understand people’s wishes.

We understand how to lower people’s risks.

And this comes out of our core principles.

We call these principles

Data Warehousing Competencies


We proposed for the client an integrated solution of a Data Warehouse System

based on Oracle data warehouse methodology. This solution contained 3

integrated data layers: operational, detailed and analytical, to provide better

capability of the system. Users access to the Data Warehouse was accomplished

by means of SAP BusinessObjects BI tool.

At the end of the 16-months project the client received a single source of accurate data, an improved reporting, reduced time of reports generation, quick access to analytical data for all involved business users.

At present the System supports over 2 thousand users.

A leading Telco company with over 26 mln. subscribers received its reporting from different departments in various formats generated from separate source systems. Information was managed with the help of an in-house data warehouse system that didn’t integrate source systems. One and the same data varied in different reports, as there was no single source of correct information.

Business Intelligence Competencies



Business Intelligence Case Study

We implemented Analytical Reporting System based on SAP BusinessObjects

platform for required subject areas, such as Credits, Deposits, Current Accounts

and some others. It included database for integration data from subject areas into

Data Mart and analytical reporting tool.

After 6 months of project lifetime the client received a set of over 200 ready-for-use analytical reports and semantic layer objects (8 universes) for ad-hoc analysis. Users received complete and correct data about their clients, accounts and their transactions.

Our client, one of the leading commercial banks, had 3 separate DWH systems for different data areas and types of analysis. But data from these systems could not be integrated for reporting. Analytical reports were generated exclusively by the IT team in the form of data sheets with no possibility for interactive analysis. Users received their reports after constant delays.

Data Governance is a quality control discipline for managing, using and protecting your data, turning it into a valuable corporate asset.

And…

We can support your efforts in building a sound Data Governance process and platform.

We will support you in getting maximum value of your data.

The client had lots of data but no procedures to manage it, no assigned roles

for employees on each stage of data processing. There was no unified product

catalogue. As a result there was a discrepancy in the products profitability reports.

Data problems were being solved reactively, as nobody knew what to do when the

problem occurred.

As a result, client is able to understand his metadata, where it comes from and

can react on its changes proactively. All in all, he received a new level of quality in

his data that enables informed decision-making based on complete and correct

information.

Our client, a big Telco company, has lots of operational data. But the more data there is, the more difficult it is to process it, especially when nobody knows what this data means, who created it and for what purpose.

Acctiva implemented Metadata Management System based on Informatica Metadata Manager & Business Glossary and Collibra Data Governance Center.

Understanding is vital for effective interaction. When both parties have a similar vision of the process and awareness of further actions, it’s easier to achieve the goal.

That is why we use world-class

methodologies for projects

delivery.

We divide them into:

Horizontal

Transparent Methodology


Initiating
