Information/Data
Data: Recording of events, actions, facts in Numbers and Letters.
Raw facts, stored out of context and without semantic meaning. Bits and BytesRepresentation in terms of IT
Data are often viewed as a lowest level of abstraction from which information andKnowledge are derived.
Information: Processed Data used to provide Context
Data in context – meaning, format, timeframe, relevanceEx: Customer Address
Data/Information Format
Structured Content: ex: Data adhering to a well defined schema/modelSemi Structured Content: ex: MS Word, PDF, HTML, XML Un Structured Content: ex: TIFF, GIF, IMG, etc

Definitions
• Data Warehouse (DW): An integrated, centralized, historical, relational database and the related software used to collect, cleanse, transform and load data from a variety of operational sources for reporting and analysis by business professionals.
• Data Mart: A database of aggregated and summarized historical data typically focused on a specialized subject area for reporting and analysis by business professionals. A data mart may be may be independent, or part of a larger data warehousing environment and fed from a data warehouse (dependent).
• Business Intelligence (BI): Knowledge workers (executives, managers, staff) using information to answer the questions that inform business decisions (formerly known as decision support).
• Business Intelligence Environment: The information, support, tools and technology that enables knowledge workers to find the answers they need.
• Business Intelligence Management: Providing the information, technologies & support knowledge workers need to find the answers that inform business decisions.

What is Business Intelligence
• Business Intelligence (BI) is about getting the right information, to the right decision makers, at the right time.
• BI is an enterprise-wide platform that supports reporting, analysis and decision making.
• BI leads to:– fact-based decision making– “single version of the truth”
• BI includes reporting and analytics.
• What happened?
• What is happening?
• Why did it happen?
• What will happen?
• What do I want to happen?
PAST – CURRENT- FUTURE

Introduction
Data Warehouse Lifecycle & Concepts
Sri Tripurani(10.30 – 11.00 AM)
![Page 19: Free One Day Business Intelligence Workshop](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061300/54c6d95d4a7959dc018b4573/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Data Warehouse Life Cycle
• In early 1990s Data Warehousing practice been based on assumption that,
– From a design perspective, once in production data warehouses and data marts were essentially static.
– Data warehouse change management practices were fundamentally no different than those of other kinds of production systems.
![Page 20: Free One Day Business Intelligence Workshop](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061300/54c6d95d4a7959dc018b4573/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Data Warehouse Life cycle
According to W.H. Inmon
–The classical system development life cycle (SDLC) does not work in the world of the DSS analyst.
–The SDLC assumes that requirements are known at the start of the design (or at least can be discovered).
–However, in the world of the DSS Analyst, requirements are usually the last thing to be discovered in the DSS development life cycle
![Page 21: Free One Day Business Intelligence Workshop](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061300/54c6d95d4a7959dc018b4573/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Data Warehouse Life cycle
Dimensional schema design methodology
•One of the earliest – and to this day the most effective
•Interacts with the business users at business process level to design star schemas
•The population of those star schema was then largely a technical matter of matching available data elements in transactional source systems to the designed schema, creating or synthesizing data elements when they were not available natively in the systems of record.

Data Warehouse Life cycle
Although specific vocabularies vary from organization to organization, the datawarehousing industry is in agreement that the data warehouse lifecycle model is fundamentally as described in the diagram below.
![Page 24: Free One Day Business Intelligence Workshop](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061300/54c6d95d4a7959dc018b4573/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Data Warehouse Life cycle
Design phase • The development, from both available data inventories and business
analyst requirements and analytical needs, of presentation layer views or robust star-schema-based dimensional data models
Key activities • End-user interview cycles.• Source system cataloguing, definition of key performance indicators
and other critical business metrics.• Mapping of decision-making processes to the underlying information
needs.• Logical and physical schema design tasks, which feed the
prototyping phase of the lifecycle model quite directly.
![Page 25: Free One Day Business Intelligence Workshop](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061300/54c6d95d4a7959dc018b4573/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Data Warehouse Life cycle
Prototype phase • The deployment, for a select group of opinion-makers and leading
practitioners in the end-user analytical communities, of a populated, working model of a data warehouse or data mart design, suitable for actual use.
Key activities • Prototyping shifts might occur, as the design team moves back and
forth between design and prototype.• As the gap between stated needs and actual needs closes over the
course of 2 or more design-prototype iterations, the purpose of the prototype shifts toward diplomacy – gaining commitment to the project at hand from opinion leaders.
![Page 26: Free One Day Business Intelligence Workshop](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061300/54c6d95d4a7959dc018b4573/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Data Warehouse Life cycle
Deploy phase • The formalization of a user-approved prototype for actual production
use, including the development of documentation, training, operations and management processes and the host of activities traditionally associated with enterprise IT system deployment.
Key activities • Typically involves at least two environments.• Deployment into Non-Production environment (Test)• Deployment into Production environment• Production support and End user documentation is completed.• End-user training
![Page 27: Free One Day Business Intelligence Workshop](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061300/54c6d95d4a7959dc018b4573/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Data Warehouse Life cycle
Operation phase • The day-to-day maintenance of the data warehouse or data mart,
the data delivery services and client tools that provide business analysts with their access to data warehouse and data mart data
Key activities • Management of ETL process.• From batch processing to real-time data processing• Keep Data Warehouse current with respect to source system
![Page 28: Free One Day Business Intelligence Workshop](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061300/54c6d95d4a7959dc018b4573/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Data Warehouse Life cycle
Enhancement phase • The modification of logical schema designs in response to changing
business requirements, operations and management processes (ETL and Scheduling), and physical technological components.
Key activities • External business conditions change discontinuously, or
organizations themselves undergo discontinuous changes (as in the case of asset sales, mergers and acquisitions)
• Enhancement moves seamlessly back into fundamental design.
![Page 29: Free One Day Business Intelligence Workshop](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061300/54c6d95d4a7959dc018b4573/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Data Warehouse Life cycle
Data Life Cycle
•Data becomes active as soon as it is of interest to an organization.
•Data life cycle begins with a business need for acquiring
data. •Active data are referenced on a regular basis during day-to-day business operations. •Over time, this data loses its importance and is accessed less often, gradually losing its business value, and ending with its archival or disposal.
![Page 30: Free One Day Business Intelligence Workshop](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061300/54c6d95d4a7959dc018b4573/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Data Warehouse Life cycle
Active Data•Active data is of business use to an organization.
•The ease of access for business users to active data is an absolute necessity in order to run an efficient business.
•The simple, but critical principle, that all data moves through life-cycle stages is key to improving data management.
![Page 32: Free One Day Business Intelligence Workshop](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061300/54c6d95d4a7959dc018b4573/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Data Warehouse Life cycle
Active Data•By understanding how data is used and how long it must be retained, companies can develop a strategy to map usage patterns to the optimal storage media, thereby minimizing the total cost of storing data over its life cycle.
•The ideal solution is to manage data stored in relational databases as part of an overall enterprise data
management solution.
![Page 33: Free One Day Business Intelligence Workshop](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061300/54c6d95d4a7959dc018b4573/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Data Warehouse Life cycle
Inactive Data
•Data are put out to pasture once they are no longer active. i.e. there are no longer needed for critical business tasks or analysis.
•Prior to the mid-nineties, most enterprises achieved data in Microfilms and tape back-ups.
•There are now technologies for data archival such as Storage Area Networks (SAN), Network Attached Storage (NAS) and Hierarchical Storage Management

What is Business Intelligence?
• Business intelligence is a way of exploring data to improve business performance, whether to drive profitability or to manage costs.
• Business intelligence often aims to support better business decision-making, so BI system can be called as Decision Support System (DSS)
![Page 36: Free One Day Business Intelligence Workshop](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061300/54c6d95d4a7959dc018b4573/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
What is Data Warehouse
• Data warehouse is a repository of an organization's electronically stored data.
• Data warehouses are designed to facilitate reporting and analysis
• Data warehouse was the biggest enabler for successful BI implementation
• Data warehouse extracts information from the transactional/ERP systems and aggregates it to allow for fast analysis of vast amounts of data

What is Business Objects ?
• BO is an integrated query, reporting and analysis solution
• Allows you to access the data in your corporate data bases
• Present and analyze this information in a BUSINESS OBJECTS reports
![Page 47: Free One Day Business Intelligence Workshop](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061300/54c6d95d4a7959dc018b4573/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Why Business Objects popular?
• 16 years ago Business Objects came up with a simple but profound idea: “semantic layer” or “Universe”
![Page 48: Free One Day Business Intelligence Workshop](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061300/54c6d95d4a7959dc018b4573/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
BO Universe
• Universe is a business representation of your data warehouse or transaction database
• It shields users from the underlying complexities of the database schema
• It is the single greatest component which will make your implementation succeed or fail.
• To build a successful universe, keep it simple
![Page 49: Free One Day Business Intelligence Workshop](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061300/54c6d95d4a7959dc018b4573/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)

Universe Components
• Parameters that define database connectivity and SQL options
• Classes and objects that users see when building queries and reports
• Tables that are pointers to the physical tables in the database
• Joins that define the relationships between the tables
![Page 52: Free One Day Business Intelligence Workshop](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061300/54c6d95d4a7959dc018b4573/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Classes and Objects
• A class is a logical grouping of objects within a universe.
• An object is a named component that maps to data or a derivation of data in the database.
• There are 3 types of objects in BO
![Page 53: Free One Day Business Intelligence Workshop](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061300/54c6d95d4a7959dc018b4573/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Types of Objects
• Dimension: Parameters for analysis Dimensions typically relate to a hierarchy such as geography, product, or time. For example: Last Name and City_Id
• Description: Provide a description of a dimension example: Month name

Useful Tips for Interviews
Job Finding Tips• Build network using LinkedIn, Facebook, etc..• Prepare to extend your boundaries and explore for all possible opportunities. (No opportunity is
small)• Communicate and keep in touch with your friends and never burn relationships/bridges with
current company when you leave a job.
Resume Tips• Create your resume to be not more than 3 pages.• First page is very important and remember your resume says a lot about you and will help you to
be shortlisted.• Prepare to talk on all content on your resume.
Interview Tips• Make sure to carry copies of your resume to the interview.• Never go too early, if you arrive early do not rush to the interviewer rather wait for your time and
then contact them at the mentioned time.• Dressing is key and dress well.• Remember that the current interview is not your last interview in life so be patient and settled
rather than getting tensed.• Answer all questions with honesty and give examples related to your experience as required.• Also follow up after your interview with an email and thank the interviewer for the opportunity and
time.
