Corporate data warehouse · DWH, MDM, data governance

A corporate data warehouse built for your business, not for a vendor

We design and build corporate data warehouses for ERP and other corporate systems. Reports are ready faster, data quality improves and the load on IT goes down. A typical project takes from 4 months, and you can start with a pilot.

What we do

How we can help

  • Pre-project survey

    A short but thorough stage that shows what to do, in what order and why. The result is an architecture concept for your DWH.

    • Business goals and current metrics
    • Key master data and where it lives
    • Processes where data is critical
    • Data quality problems with real examples
    • IT landscape and data flows
    • Data governance maturity
  • DWH build

    A warehouse that collects data from ERP, CRM, mobile apps, industry systems and files into one consistent model.

    • One version of the truth for key metrics
    • Reports without manual exports and Excel stitching
    • Analytics load separated from operational systems
    • A ready base for BI, forecasting and MDM
  • Data architecture

    We build data management on every key level.

    • Integration: sources, ETL and ELT processes
    • Storage: corporate DWH, ODS, core and marts, the right stack
    • Quality and MDM: common reference data and quality rules
    • Reporting: automated reports, BI marts, clear dashboards

Survey results

What you get after the survey

Not just a report but a clear set of decisions.

  • The role of DWH, MDM and data governance

    Where the single version of the truth lives, which tasks the DWH covers, which reference data moves to MDM, which rules and roles are needed.

  • Concept architecture

    Sources, warehouse layers, marts, and integrations with key systems and BI tools.

  • Prioritised marts and master data

    Which reports and analytics come first, and which master data goes to MDM first.

  • Roadmap for 6 to 18 months

    A staged DWH and MDM plan with timelines, resources and risks, including data governance steps.

  • Effect and quick wins

    Where the pilot can already give a measurable result: less reporting effort, fewer errors, faster decisions.

How the project runs

Main stages of a DWH project

  1. 1

    Design

    Goals and metrics, data sources and consumers, agreed architecture and mart priorities.

  2. 2

    MVP

    Infrastructure, integrations with the main systems, the first marts and reports.

  3. 3

    Scaling

    More sources and business areas, better performance, more marts.

  4. 4

    Development

    DWH support, MDM and data governance added, new reports and analytics.

Why Synopps

Why Synopps is the right partner for a DWH

  1. 1

    Data and master data expertise

    We do not install a box, we put the data in order: reference data, master data cleansing and a data model that works from day one.

  2. 2

    People first

    We work with your team, decide together, rely on real processes and help users move to the new reports.

  3. 3

    Your interests before the vendor's

    We are not tied to one technology supplier. We choose the stack for your tasks, licensing limits and IT landscape.

  4. 4

    Measurable results

    From the start we fix the goals: comparable metrics, faster reporting, fewer manual operations, data quality and availability.

FAQ

DWH: common questions

How is a DWH different from a database or a reporting mart?

A DWH is a central store that collects data from different systems, keeps history and gives one data model. Separate databases and marts usually solve local tasks and do not guarantee one version of the truth.

How long does it take to build a DWH?

It depends on scale. A pilot with 1 or 2 marts and a few sources takes from 2 to 3 months. A full corporate warehouse in several waves takes from 6 to 12 months and continues along the roadmap. The survey gives a more precise estimate.

Do we have to start with a survey?

Yes, if you want a predictable result. The survey shows which data and reports are critical, which architecture fits your company and how DWH, MDM and data governance should work together.

Can we start with a pilot?

Yes, and that is the right way. We pick 1 or 2 important scenarios, for example sales and finance, build the architecture, processes and marts for them, and scale the solution if the result works for you.

Do we need MDM if we build a DWH?

Small projects can manage with local reference data. As the company grows, duplicates, different codes and mismatched reports appear quickly. So we plan from the start which master data to centralise and offer a staged move to MDM.

What is needed from our side?

Process and report owners, IT specialists for the key systems and a person responsible for the project. We take on the methodology, architecture and build. You take part in interviews, agree requirements and check the result on real tasks.
