DW Framework
Shared approach to unique needs
When you’re faced with choosing one of the multitude of packaged offerings that claim to give you all that you need in a standard out-of-the-box Analytics solution, you will almost certainly find that the standard content is far from your actual requirements, and on top of the price you’ve paid to purchase or subscribe to the solution, you’ll be facing the rampant costs of customization. You may even be forced to hit reset if you choose to change partners.
At Barium Group we recognize your individuality. No two companies – even within the same sector – are or should be alike. Uniqueness is key to distinguishing oneself from the rest of the pack. And with absolute certainty we can say that this also applies to your approach to measurement, monitoring and analysis of your performance. Our Framework focusses more on addressing the common challenges that every business faces – like availability of actionable and trustworthy data with a minimum of latency – and avoids the pitfalls of filling the model with unmanageable volumes of generic content and metrics.
Value is measurable
We grow, we evolve
With your unique business in mind, we have designed our Framework to be just that – a framework – the backbone that serves as the architecture and engine, supporting exactly the content you need, wherever you need it, and whenever you need it. Sure, our toolbox contains a rich set of templates and “standard scripts” that can get the basic datasets that anyone in the same sector would expect, but these serve only one purpose -as do all the components and modules in the Framework – which is to consolidate 1000’s of development hours into a set of tools that will minimize implementation time and costs, so we can focus on what is important to your business – your unique metrics.
With the scalable approach to design, our Framework will comfortably expand along with your business, whether it’s new content to cover your evolving strategy and focus points, or the sheer volume of data that’s grown from meager millions to daunting billions of rows.
Flexible update methods and schedules
The Barium Framework gives full flexibility when deciding which data to load, and when to load it. With support for multiple load methods each dataset can be optimized for the best fit, whether this means a full refresh of information, incrementally loaded changes to the data, or anywhere in between. Furthermore, any number of update schedules can be created for individual datasets, so your sales team can have lunchtime and end-of-day updates, while the finance department insist on refreshed data every 15 minutes.
For the tech-heads among you, this means our Framework supports CDC and Change Tracking on your source data, Delta loads and Partition Switching on your Datawarehouse (with or without sliding windows), and extends of course to the Cubes and Tabular Models, where table and measuregroup partitions can be dropped and created on the fly, and Dimensions and Cubes are incrementally processed only when source data has changed.
Data is nothing without trust
And what does it cost?
Did we mention it’s free?
Well actually we did, if you missed it, go back and start reading the page again.
The more important question is probably: “What can it end up costing, if you have a less than optimal solution based on questionable advice?“
