Make better business decisions with a data warehousing solution from Rand Group

Adopt a modern data strategy

A surprising number of organizations are still utilizing yesterday’s tools and processes to try and solve the problems of tomorrow. The amount of innovation that is occurring in the small-to-mid-sized business space has reached unprecedented levels. More than ever before, companies are striving for ways to make sense of their data to enable better business outcomes.

One of the most common issues that business users struggle with is wrangling together the data they want into a coherent manner that can be analyzed, and most importantly, understood by others in the organization. The flexible, long-term solution to simplifying your company’s data is to deploy a data warehouse.

Simplify your data, simplify your life

For organizations that want to have a modern approach to reporting, one which spans across the organization, the recommended approach is to address the data model ahead of time. Rather than asking business users to try and massage and consolidate data on their own, an organization should instead create a governed data set that will serve as a single version of the truth across the business. The most common way to do this is to create a data warehouse.

Combine all of your data in one place

Most organizations have data stored in a number of different business applications and spreadsheets. This presents a challenge to a holistic reporting strategy that requires combining data from multiple sources. A data warehouse consolidates data from multiple sources into a single place and allows organization of that data in a way that makes sense to your business. With all of your data in the same place it becomes significantly easier to build the right reports to make informed business decisions.

Make data accessible to business users

In many organizations, the IT department is tasked with creating reports because the data structure is too complicated for the average business user to work with. However, this often leads to a bottleneck in the creation of reports and frustration from end users. By implementing a data warehouse, the data is available in a logical, organized manner that is accessible by business users. This empowers business users to create their own reports and have the data they need when they need it. 

Data warehousing: The missing puzzle piece to a modern reporting strategy

Data is one of a company’s most valuable assets. The problem is most companies amass too much of it for it to be of use. With lengthy manual consolidation needed, this leaves room for errors and inefficiencies. The missing piece is a data warehouse that can bring together all your data and create a single version of the truth across the business.

Bring together all your data with a data warehouse solution

Data needs to be easily extractable and able to be combined into formats that are relevant for data analysis and reporting. Engage in effective data management with solutions that offer data warehousing and cubes, such as Jet Analytics. With data extraction capabilities, these tools make it easy for business users to access the data they need, when they need it.

Data Warehouse

A data warehouse is a separate database that lays out data from multiple sources in a streamlined format built specifically for reporting. Once a data warehouse is in place, users will be able to access a small subset of tables and fields that are named and organized in a way that makes sense to business users, greatly simplifying how users access information. Jet Analytics helps automate the design and maintenance of a data warehouse enabling organizations to optimize their reporting.

Cubes

Cubes take the data from the data warehouse and organize it by subject matter. Within each cube is a set of measures and dimensions which provide context. For example, a user accessing a “sales cube” would pull measures such as sales, cost, and profit. Cubes take data warehouses a step further by adding context to data to make it easily actionable by business users. Jet Analytics includes pre-built cubes on the most commonly reported on data to help you gain valuable insights quicker.

Data Visualizations

Once data is combined and organized into a data warehouse and cubes it becomes much easier to create high-value, meaningful outputs such as dashboards and other data visualizations that can provide transformative insights to your organization. Jet Analytics is a comprehensive business intelligence platform that allows you to efficiently create both data warehouses and stunning visualizations to help turn your data into powerful insights and quickly identify trends.
