Rittman Mead Consulting clients often have made substantial investments in Data Warehousing and reporting. This is why Rittman Mead Consulting is pleased to offer consultancy services that are designed to maximise the return on your investment in Oracle technology. We recognise that every client has differing needs so we are flexible enough to tailor our services to fit your requirements. Our services include:

  • Oracle data warehouse database technology refresh advice. Often, and rightly so, the process to upgrade legacy Oracle data warehouses to the most recent releases of the database software involves the minimum amount of activity to ensure a successful upgrade. However this approach also means that many of the new performance improving features introduced by Oracle are not implemented as part of the upgrade project. Rittman Mead offer an on-site one day workshop for your data warehouse developers to allow them to learn about new functionality introduced in the upgrade and how those techniques can be used to improve the efficiency of the upgraded data warehouse.

  • Data warehouse quality audits and healthchecks. Most well-run businesses subject themselves to regular internal review. Data warehouses, too, need regular review to ensure that they remain aligned to corporate objectives and operational performance targets are met. Rittman Mead Consulting is able to offer expert assessment on whether a data warehouse remains suitable for the needs of the business. These audits can be targeted at specific areas such as data quality and provenance, database performance, and aggregation strategy or take a more holistic approach looking at the needs of an organisation as a whole.

  • Oracle data warehouse performance optimisation. Data warehouse queries and batch data load processes often manipulate large amounts of data; such operations magnify any inefficiency in the process with the end result of reduced user satisfaction. Our performance optimisation approach starts by investigating the general performance characteristics of the data warehouse before looking at significant problem queries. Where appropriate we will recommend remedial work to improve performance

  • BI infrastructure consolidation strategy. Organisations, either through merger and acquisition or from departmental initiatives, often operate multiple data marts, data warehouses and reporting systems. Rittman Mead will give high-level advice on the best ways to align legacy BI infrastructure to support the business’s strategic goals.

In addition to working with clients to help assess and optimize the performance of their Oracle data warehouse, we also work with clients who are just embarking on their data warehouse project, through expert consultancy and mentoring, and training through the following three courses:
