Datawarehousing Sequencing Chart

Step 1 Determine Users Needs


Does the company need a warehouse ...or even a data mart? What are the business objectives? Where do I get the data from? Perform cost/benefit analysis, project estimation and risk assessment data

Step 2 Determine DBMS Server Platform


Which database servers do we already have? Determine cost, interopability and staff training considerations. Determine DBMS server platform based on Return on Investment (ROI)

Step 3 Determine Hardware Platform


Where should the data warehouse or data mart be housed? Which hardware platforms do we already have?

Determine cost, interopability and staff training considerations.

Determine hardware based on Return on Investment (ROI).

Step 4 Information & Data Modeling


Building an Information Model How do I use a data model to express relationships between the data? Resolve access and usage issues. Determine the logical and physical design of the data warehouse or data mart.

Step 5 Construct the Metadata Repository


How do I keep track of what means what, who can access it and how it will be accessed? Build a repository. Determine the business user's view of the metadata repository.

Step 6 Data Acquisition & Cleansing


How do I...

Extract Cleanse Scrub Reconcile Aggregate Summarize


...data from various sources for the data warehouse or data mart?

Step 7 Transformation, Transportation, Population


How do I build the data warehouse or data mart?
Transform the data.

Transport the data.


Populate the data warehouse or data mart.

Step 8 Determine Middleware Connectivity


How do I connect the source data to the target data warehouse or data mart?

Ongoing connection
Direct data access

Step 9 Prototyping, Querying & Reporting


How do I:
Implement a involvement? prototype with user

Develop applications?
Use query and reporting tools?

Step 10 Data Mining


How do I find patterns in the data? How can those patterns be used for revenue growth? How can tools be used to further identify patterns in the data warehouse or data mart?

Step 11 Online Analytical Processing


How can users analyze the data? How can the neccessary number of dimensions be determined? How can users see the data represented in multiple dimensions? How can they use the OLAP tools?

Step 12 Deployment & Systems Management


How can I provide security, backup, recovery and the necessary capabilities for a production data warehouse or data mart?

How can resources be allocated best?


How can the growth of the data be accommodated? How can everything be kept running smoothly?
