Dimodelo, BITanium bring data warehouse automation to SA


Brisbane, Australia and Johannesburg, 07 Jun 2016

BITanium, focused on exposing the power of data in making organisations competitive, today announced it is partnering with Dimodelo Solutions, a leader in data warehouse automation.

The foundation of a robust business intelligence solution is a governed, scalable and trusted data warehouse. According to a study by the IDC and DM Review, a typical BI solution takes on average 17 months to implement and requires a unique team of data architects, data specialists, database experts and myriad technical staff. This time lag is costly and causes frustrations among the business users who want results today. This often results in ad hoc reports being generated from home-grown systems or Excel worksheets. Or worse, rather relying on gut feel than business data for decisions.

The idea behind data warehouse automation (DWA) is to automate each part of the development life cycle, so the project team can focus on parts that require intellect rather than raw technological horsepower. DWA does this by minimising manual coding and automating the repetitive, time-consuming yet boring tasks normally associated with a data warehouse initiative.

The problem is not the data warehouse concept, it is still an extremely useful method of managing information. Dimodelo does not throw out the idea of a data warehouse in search of a better way, but rather, directly addresses the real problem, being the execution of the data warehouse project.

The benefits of data warehouse automation:

* It is fast - reducing the build time of the data warehouse from months to days.
* It is flexible - changing business requirements are accommodated quickly and easily.
* Focus - concentrate the team on analytics and business value rather than being stuck in ETL.
* Quality - produces tested, high performance, complete and readable code.
* Consistency - it produces consistent code, naming standards, etc, making it easy for one developer to understand the work of another.

Dimodelo Architect focuses on the Microsoft platform, and captures your warehouse design, generates the code, handles deployment and runs the ETL. This approach will typically shorten the implementation cycle of BI projects dramatically and ensure time to value is accelerated and user adoption is boosted.

"The Dimodelo Data Warehouse Automation tool is a game-changer. I have worked in the data warehouse and BI industry for many years and can see the immediate value Dimodelo Architect will offer to corporates struggling with their data," says Derek Radue, data architecture expert at BITanium.

"We are excited to be expanding into the South African market with BITanium and have no doubt that our solutions will deliver tangible and significant returns," says Adam Gilmore, Principal at Dimodelo.
