Establishing Accuracy and Transparency in the BI Reporting System
Business Requirement
The client wasn't satisfied with its existing BI reporting system. There was a strong business need for better transparency and precision in the methods used to generate reports.
Business Solution
Espire set up a dedicated, fully secured offshore development center for the client to create SSIS packages and for performing ETL (extract, transform, and load) programming and modified existing OLAP database (Cube).
Data warehouse supports Business Objects (Universe) by providing two different types of data source which are data cube via SSAS and the relational database of OPM Data Mart.
