Services

Our goal is to provide the right set of services that your organization needs in order to start, complete or augment your business intelligence initiative. Our hybrid solution of providing expert consultants and tools designed specifically for business intelligence solutions provide our customers with unprecedented results and value.



Project Management

Our Project Management services are designed to help your organization move through each phase of your implementation successfully. We align our Project Management services with your vision to make sure that each step gets your organization closer to its goal. As industry experts in business intelligence implementations, we help you put together a detailed plan to ensure that deliverables are met at each phase. This process will maximize your investment in technology and minimizes risk.

Requirements Gathering – It is important for both IT and business users to understand and agree on requirements. To help accomplish this, Fondant helps each of these users understand what they can expect from their business intelligence solution. We ensure that the information requested from the business users is available in the data warehouse and that your IT staff understands how the systems they manage and maintain contribute to the data warehouse.

Prioritization – We help you understand how the prioritization of your vision and goals are going to be carried out.

Detailed Project Planning – Fondant understands that a project plan with detailed tasks and target dates is essential for the success of any project. A detailed project plan allows all of the stakeholders to understand and anticipate deliverables of the project.

Infrastructure Assessment – Because we understand business intelligence requirements, we help our clients evaluate their current IT infrastructure to ensure that it will be able to support the proposed business intelligence system.

Resource Planning – At Fondant we understand the success of a project goes well beyond the rollout of any system. What happens when the system is up and running and your requirements change, your user base increases or your business changes? We make sure that you understand and are prepared not only to rollout the system, but that you will be able to react to these changes in the future.



Implementation

Our industry experts will manage every phase of your Implementation. Our Implementation strategy is broken out into three main phases.

The first phase is the Extract Transform and Load (ETL) stage. Here we help implement the chosen tool, develop a customized solution or work with your existing infrastructure to ensure that the data that is being delivered to ModelHouse™ has been audited for accuracy and will be available on a timely basis.

The second phase of the implementation is the configuration of ModelHouse™ and ModelMart™. The ModelHouse and ModelMart are what allow Fondant to deliver a business intelligence solution in record time. These patent-pending technology tools not only make the data warehouse and data marts a breeze they also lower your total cost of ownership (TCO) by allowing iterative changes over time as your business grows, changes and diversifies. All of the negatives of the traditional data warehouse and data mart are eliminated and all of the strengths are augmented.

The third phase is the information delivery phase. Using the chosen reporting platform Fondant can quickly point to the data in the ModelMart and accelerate the deliver of information to your key stakeholders. Again, Fondant can provide custom reporting solutions, use a selected reporting tool or use your existing reporting tools.



Strategic Assessment

Fondant can figure out where you are and where you need to be in order to implement your business intelligence initiative. Our Strategic Assessment involves evaluating your current quality of data. At Fondant we understand that looking at the data itself is not always enough. An evaluation of what the data means at the point of origin is as equally important. Therefore our assessment involves talking to your business users and taking what they say the data means to them and aligning that with the data that is actually collected to ensure that the data means the same to everyone in your organization.
