BIAnalytix Tip Summary: Single Version of the Truth

One of the most valuable contributions of a data warehouse to corporate management is the creation of a single reference set of data and thus consistent analysis results. To achieve these benefits, offline private spreadsheet analysis needs to be discouraged as the portal data cube analysis creates equivalent and trusted alternatives such as cube linked spreadsheets, enterprise wide available reports, and management and executive dashboards. The process of implementing a data warehouse solution that stores its analytic grist in centralized data cubes establishes a data dictionary of agreed terms, definitions, and calculations that creates a common management language for the organization. Also, extracted data from the portal should remain connected to the data cube so that spreadsheets, Word documents, and PowerPoint presentations with data can all be independently refreshed to obtain the same values for the same terms for common management decision processes.

The use of standard data headings in analysis should be encouraged so that communicated analysis always shows the agreed upon data term identifying the data values. Modern data analysis tools include translation tables to formally assign similar unique names in each language used for corporate management. The above recommendations should ensure that all varieties of data analysis and extraction within a media corporation will have identical results for the same defined term on all visible management analysis.

BIAnalytix is an advanced Data Warehouse and Business Intelligence system that supports dynamic linked office documents and portals to encourage all business analysis to come from the same central data repository.
