Achieve a faster deployment, lower Total Cost of Ownership, and best-practice value by investing in a prebuilt, supported data model. By leveraging the elements of a prebuilt BI application, you will minimize the risk, cost, and delay of building a business intelligence data model from the ground up.

Overcoming the Hidden Cost of BI

Every Business Intelligence application relies on data models to service information requests.  This piece of the BI architecture is one of the utmost importance to ensure the information is available in a format to report on and that the system can perform.  It is also one of the most costly and challenging components to create as it requires both technical and functional skill sets and can make the difference between a successful solution and one that ultimately fails.

A true Business Intelligence data model is not a simple mapping exercise, and in almost every case, requires logic and transformations.  This piece represents a significant portion of the implementation costs tied to a BI solution, and is rarely supported as part of a product offering.

A selection of tasks eliminated by a pre-built BI application:

• Requirements analysis
• Extract, Transform, and Load design and coding
• An in-depth understanding of the source system
• Testing and support

The KBACE Advantage

Prebuilt, supported data models are the core building blocks of the KBACE Business Intelligence Suite.  These data models are both relational and multidimensional and are designed to satisfy complex, real-world demands by intelligently aggregating the data necessary to answer information requests from the entire business user community. 

KBACE enables organizations to fully abstract the complexities that are inherent in an operational system from users at all levels through its proven Extract, Transfer, and Load (ETL) process.   These prebuilt data models for the Oracle E-Business Suite exist as an end-result of customer requirements and true business needs, and are offered at a fraction of the cost of building your own.

KBACE is able to provide supported KBI data models as a result of years of working technically and functionally with the Oracle E-Business Suite, and is well-versed in each underlying schema and reporting need.  KBACE is experienced in standard Oracle patching and upgrades and is able to offer standard KBI support for these exercises, greatly reducing your BI total cost of ownership.
