What business value will the data mart provide?
What is the user of the data trying to achieve?
And…
How can we design a data model that is scalable and flexible?
Our data marts, as an alternative to conducting queries on huge data systems, intrinsically give the following advantages:
1 – RAPID ACCESS: Data is made available on-demand to authorized users of the data when they request it.
2 – COST-EFFECTIVE: Data mart architecture is not prohibitively expensive to maintain or update.
3 – FUNCTIONAL SPECS & USER EXPERIENCE: The design of data marts is done in collaboration with the end-users of the data so that business objectives are matched with the data.
4 – INTEGRATED: Data is integrated with the software systems and platforms that will be accessing it.
5 – TRUSTWORTHY: Data users have a high level of confidence in the accuracy of the data.
