Simplify Warehouse Definition Warehouse Justification Increase Your Warehouse ROI Simplify Warehouse Definition Before you spend hundreds of thousands or maybe millions of dollars on a data warehouse or data marts, you want to be as sure as possible that you know what your warehouse users are going to want. With Guide+.Net, you can quickly and easily get your users involved up front in defining and refining what they need. In a matter of hours, Guide+.Net will enable you to create sophisticated information delivery applications that will pull data from the same files your warehouse will access, clean and synthesize it, and organize it. Guide+.Net then presents it in easy to use, elegant screens that can display the data organized into any combination of embedded charts, forms, spreadsheets, tables, graphs and reports. Your future warehouse users can "test drive" what the warehouse will provide by viewing the information in any number of ways and at any level of detail. This lets them fine-tune their requirements, determining more precisely what data they really need and what kinds of queries they'll want to make against the warehouse. Not only will this help you in generating the design of your data models, but it also streamlines and speeds the warehouse development process by cutting down on the iterations. Guide+.Net enables you to "get it right" the first time from your users' perspective. Return to top of page Warehouse Justification When you present your data warehousing project for management approval, you will undoubtedly have to present a compelling case for the value your organization will derive. Guide+.Net helps you here, as well. Use Guide+.Net to quickly and inexpensively create a prototype of a warehouse query or information display application you have in mind. With Guide+.Net you can gather sample data and display it in beautifully formatted screens with all the drill-down capabilities your warehouse will enable, so your executives can see for themselves. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. Then, after you've built your data warehouse, you can use your Guide+.Net application as a front end. Return to top of page Increase Your Warehouse ROI The size of your data warehouse user audience is directly related to the power and simplicity of accessing and displaying the information. By making it as easy as possible to use, you can ensure that people across the organization will take advantage of your data warehouse. Providing value to more people throughout the organization by increasing their productivity and effectiveness in turn exponentially increases the return on your warehouse investment over time. Guide+.Net provides an intuitive, next-generation graphical interface that most people can use without instruction. Screens can be easily customized to meet the needs of individuals or groups of users, both in the type of information included and the level of detail provided. Drilling down through layers of increasing detail is a simple point and click. This gives you tremendous flexibility that will allow your warehouse to meet the needs of a widely diverse group of potential users. After all, your CEO probably doesn't need - or want - anywhere near the level of detail that your production line managers or call center service reps require. In addition, Guide+.Net can not only access your warehouse directly, but also simultaneously pull data from rapidly changing application files between data warehouse refreshes for up-to-the minute comparisons. With Guide+.Net, you can even pull information from the Internet and embed web pages in display screens along with your warehouse data. Guide+.Net is a valuable addition to your data warehouse, and to your whole enterprise IT environment.
