Data Warehouse Engineering
 
 
 
The Rainmaker Group team has deep experience in the full lifecycle of a data warehouse project and can lead the project from start to finish or engage to provide expert assistance at any stage.  Our team includes both business consultants and engineers to address all aspects of a successful project.  Our delivery model is flexible and can be structured to lead the engagement or participate in a training and mentoring role where the client has in-house technical expertise.  
 
Assess and define business reporting requirements
A successful data warehouse project begins with identifying the business reporting requirements and gaining buy-in and consensus among the business users.  Our QuickStart Assessment will focus your project on the most critical requirements and create a phased implementation plan to quickly realize value from your technology spend.

Architect and design data warehouse
Designing a data warehouse requires different skills and knowledge than those used for traditional transactional databases.  Our engineers understand how to extract data from source systems, establish and manage metadata, enforce data quality, and all the other architectural considerations necessary for performance and long-term supportability. 
 
Build cubes and end user reporting solutions
Business users interact with the data warehouse through reporting cubes and their needs are unique based on their role and job responsibilities.  One user may need and an ad-hoc OLAP tool, another may want to use Excel, while another may want to do everything via a web page.  Our team has extensive experience designing cubes and end user reporting solutions to meet each user’s specific requirements.
 

  
Outsourced maintenance and support
If you don’t have the budget for an in-house team, want to avoid the overhead of another salaried position, or if you need deep expertise in a specific skill we can provide technical experts on an as-needed basis through our outsourced maintenance and support contract.  Our flexible agreements range from a day a month to full-time outsourced maintenance and support.   
 
Optimization & Expansion
If you are experiencing poor performance or are considering ways to expand your existing data warehouse we can help.   Our engineers will work with your team to study your existing architecture and then make recommendations on how to optimize and expand.
