DW/BI is the cornerstone skillset of The JPSI Group.

Our approach to DW/BI always starts with the business requirements and drives the BI and DW deliverables from what will add both immediate and long term value to the business. The business requirements for any DW/BI solution should always take care to capture “data lineage,” that is, the sources, translation and transformation rules that clearly show how data proceeds from its sources all the way through to the reports and dashboards.

BI must always reflect an improvement in how the business functions, asking and answering the question, “What will BI allow me to do or do better that I can’t do today?” And since business conditions can change quickly, the BI solution should be nimble enough to change with them, offering continued value as requirements evolve.

But the BI solution will offer no value without the underlying data architecture to deliver key metrics and reporting dimensions from an organization’s various data sources. Data architecture is the foundation and where much of the hard work takes place in extracting, transforming and loading the data BI needs to be useful.

JPSI takes a holistic approach, focusing both on the immediate value that BI can offer to critical business decision making and architecting a powerful and efficient underlying DW architecture that will grow and perform as the business requirements dictate. Our solutions provide the best of both BI and DW, without sacrificing best practices or performance of either.

From its initial implementation, the DW environment should allow for the following immediate benefits:

Furthermore, as DW moves from initial implementation towards full maturity over time, the architecture should:
