Eliminate Data Warehouse Errors with Automated Information Controls
What are the implications of bad information in your data warehouse? Bad business decisions, delayed business intelligence and analytics projects, stakeholder distrust, inaccurate operational or financial reporting?
The complexity of your data warehouse grows in direct proportion to the number of sources that feed it, the lifespan of the information that it contains, and the number of varied users of the resulting data warehouse. Opportunities for errors are immense. Manual validation is just not an option given the magnitude of data. You need automated information controls.
Errors can result from any of a large set of underlying causes. Feeder programs that push data into the data warehouse are often deficient – or the source systems change in ways that render the feeder programs erroneous. Missing, erroneous, and duplicate transactions can easily be detected with independent controls monitoring the data sources and the data warehouse contents. Mistranslated transactions are another frequent source of error. Controls that independently and automatically validate translation can guard against these errors. Latency exceptions, post-feed source data adjustments, and transaction status change errors, are just a few of the many other underlying sources of errors that automated controls can detect.
Meanwhile, the complexity and volume of data warehouse projects tend to grow like that of a snowball rolling down a mountain. What was once an ad-hoc need to perform discovery reporting has grown into another full-fledged production system. Will there be an avalanche of information errors that doom your data warehouse project? Enhancing the level of data warehouse integrity is an essential step in the ongoing success of your data warehouse project. Automated controls can detect and prevent information errors from getting into your data warehouse and help you discover problems within your data warehouse.
