From assessments, business performance management and enterprise data warehouse development through to application and production support, MindTree ensures that your DW/BI investments sharpen your competitive edge.
Roadmap and Assessments
MindTree helps its clients in defining the strategic roadmap for their business intelligence initiatives. These broadly fall into two categories - pre-implementation or readiness assessments, and post-implementation solution health assessments.
Pre-implementation Assessment
Once transactional systems are stabilized, building a robust BI platform can unlock the value from the data captured and generate significant business insights. MindTree’s Readiness Assessment Framework can help identify BI objectives, prioritize analytical requirements, and unearth and specify initiatives to manage risks and dependencies, and finalize the enterprise roadmap and architecture for the BI platform.
Post-implementation Assessment
This offering is designed to help organizations which have first-generation data warehouses that fail to scale and deliver value. Typically these solutions have been built as independent data marts, on diverse technology platforms and tool sets and they tend to operate in silos failing to deliver business value and also at the same time increase the TCO. They invariably lack the flexibility to accommodate changes caused by organizational restructuring, mergers and acquisitions, and other business imperatives. MindTree uses their extensive business and technology expertise to help architect more evolved BI systems, and come up with clearly thought through evolution roadmaps that safeguard existing investments - helping you realize greater value from your BI initiatives.
Business Performance Management
MindTree’s business performance management offering is aimed at developing an effective performance management platform, comprising of dashboards and scorecards both at the enterprise and business function levels. Our understanding of business analytics can help define key performance indicators to evaluate effectively the various business processes. Aspects covered include productivity, quality, delivery, and costs across various business functions. These metrics are then aligned with overall strategic objectives to ensure a structured enterprise scorecard.
Enterprise Data Warehouse and Data Mart Construction
MindTree has extensive experience building large data warehouses and business intelligence solutions. Our ‘design and architecture’ focused methodology and the various reusable frameworks that leverage design best practices, makes our solutions nimble and ‘future-proof’. Our emphasis on ‘conformed dimensions’ based approach ensures that the solutions are scalable and flexible.
Master Data Management
MindTree’s MDM offering can help you address master data inconsistency, and effectively manage your enterprise master data effectively. The collective approach, with emphasis on setting up relevant control processes and organizational structure for MDM apart from the technical solution, ensures greater success of MDM initiatives.
Data Mart Consolidation
Independent data marts have mushroomed within large organizations, typically as isolated data islands and places tremendous amounts of strain on the organization by driving reconciliation challenges. MindTree can help consolidate these data marts into a central integrated data warehouse, thus creating a unified view of business data and providing greater business insight. Our service uses robust methodology and best practices, and also helps reduce incremental development and maintenance costs.
Upgrades & Migrations
