Put Your Valuable Business Information to Work for You

Is the valuable business information you’ve been collecting over the years gathering virtual dust in multiple databases across your organization? It’s time to transform that data into an intelligence infrastructure that delivers integrated, real-time insights that enables your workforce to make critical business decisions. Xtivia’s customized data warehousing solutions can deliver this strategic business advantage efficiently and effectively.

What information does your organization have buried in its systems that could transform the way you do business or provide the competitive edge you’ve been looking for? Organizations face a variety of challenges including:

• Executives who need a snapshot of business performance at their fingertips.
• Business managers who want to change the way they access data.
• Power users who are pushing the system to get more data presented in different ways.
• Employees who want to better understand the information presented to them.
• Compliance and regulatory issues that must be addressed efficiently.
• Fewer resources that require doing more with less.
• Disparate data assets that are difficult to manage and access.
• Unstructured data that is currently providing little or no value to business performance.

Project Sponsorship

Xtivia can bring together business and IT sponsors with the governance arm of your organization to identify opportunities and ensure that both business and IT issues are addressed. Additionally, Xtivia will work with sponsors to perform BI and system gap analyses, as well as develop a proof of concept/pilot project to demonstrate the return on investment.

Project Management

Xtivia provides skilled project management to oversee daily tasks, report status and manage team resources. To ensure effective adoption of the advantages that BI brings to the organization, Xtivia’s experienced project managers communicate with sponsors and users throughout the implementation.

Requirements Analysis

Xtivia’s business requirements team incorporates both business and IT experts who gather and prioritize business needs, translate them into IT systems requirements and collaborate with business units on data quality and completeness. Xtivia will help your organization refine your business requirements and set up a process that is based on battle-work methodologies and best business practices.

Architecture Design

Based on sound requirements analysis, Xtivia designs the BI solution that best fits your organization’s needs and budget. This includes selecting the appropriate technology, creating the data models, mapping the overall data workflow from source systems to BI analytics and overseeing development from a technical perspective.

Development

Xtivia provides both BI and Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) development services. Using requirements and target data models, Xtivia’s team develops the ETL code needed to gather data from appropriate source systems (SAP, Oracle, etc.) into the BI databases.

BI development is an iterative process with the business units that includes creating the reports or analytics that the business users will interact with to do their jobs. Xtivia’s cross-platform expertise provides insider knowledge of data sources, data quality and customization that speeds up the development process.

Q&A Testing

We take pride in the quality we deliver. That’s why with every project, rigorous QA processes include testing of the BI analytics, ETL processes and overall systems testing. Additionally, Xtivia incorporates “players” in the testing process. Business users are recruited to “play with” and test the analytics and reports as they are developed.
