Better Data = Better Decisions
A Data Warehouse is a repository of integrated information, available for query, analysis and reporting. Data Warehouses extract information from heterogeneous sources as the data is generated. By combining together this disparate information, the data warehouse greatly simplifies the process of query and reporting. Organizations seeking to improve their decision-making capability have looked toward tools such as the data warehouse or Cube to better compete. But often times, organizations are overwhelmed by the sheer volume and complexity of their data from their varied operational and production system
At BHC, we apply our years of experience over hundreds of engagements to build rapid solutions for our clients. Solutions that go beyond collecting and storing business data but rather help users manipulate, analyze and interpret the data without delay, in a manner that assists key decision making. We have prebuilt solutions for several ERP applications and vertical industries all built around the Microsoft Data Warehousing Framework. We implement the following two basic types of data warehouses: enterprise data warehouses and data marts. Each approach has its respective strengths and weaknesses which we can review with you to help determine the best approach for your company.

Enterprise Data Warehouse
The enterprise data warehouse contains corporate-wide information integrated from multiple operational data sources for consolidated data analysis. Typically it is composed of several subject areas such as customers, products, and sales and is used for both tactical and strategic decision making. An enterprise warehouse contains both detailed point-in-time data and summarized information and typically evolve into mission critical business tools.
Functional Data Mart
Data marts contain a subset of corporate-wide data that is built for use by an individual department, division of business function. Unlike the Enterprise Warehouse, data marts are often built from the bottom up by departmental resources for a specific decision support application or group of users. Data marts contain information about the particular subject area. Data marts are typically included in the Enterprise Data Warehouse once it is built.
