– The roadmap sets the course for long-term success by planning out the effort. It involves working with you in the business interview process, helping clarify priorities and goals, defining the project approach and project plan, identifying roles and resources needed, and establishing an overall timeline for delivery.
– Without a solution architecture, the roadmap will lack clarity on how the pieces should fit together. And with the wrong architecture, you can end up with bigger problems and higher maintenance costs, an inability to add value to the business, and never-ending support costs. The solution architecture will define how a data warehouse should fit into your corporate infrastructure, considering systems, overall architectural approach, data integration practices, and more. 
– Can confidence be quantified? Absolutely. Delivering assurance to you, your team, and your organization will go a long way in making your EDW effort a success. As part of our strategy offering, we will provide guidance and the talking points that convey the importance of your EDW effort, the mounting risks of waiting, and the critical paths to success.
Scope
Depending on your organization’s needs, the scope of the strategy offering could be limited to a single business area, or the effort could span your entire enterprise environment, covering a large data warehouse initiative. We can help map out multi-dimensional analytics, include a tools analysis, and provide direction about information delivery as your needs dictate.
The result will set you off on the right trajectory, equipped with the vision, know-how, and approach for your data warehouse.
