| Data Warehouse Architecture and Design |
 Meta5
has over ten years of experience with optimizing, designing, implementing
and teaching data warehousing for decision support systems to many
Fortune 500 companies. During this time, the 'Star' schema methodology
has emerged as one of the design standard in data warehousing. Our
staff has worked for Metaphor and helped pioneer the concepts of
this methodology. Our design process considers the type and frequency
of queries, the unique characteristics of each database engine,
data aggregates, indexing and end user views through metadata. Careful
data warehouse design is critical for achieving performance and
end user satisfaction. Meta5 has experience working with various
database management systems such as DB2, Oracle, Teradata, Sybase,
SQL/DS, and ODBC. |
| Application Development |
 Meta5
has specialized experience with developing applications usingthe
Meta5 tool set. Over our history, we have worked closely with our
clients to develop thousands of Meta5 business reporting applications.
These applications have made it significantly easier for business
professionals to make decisions that impact their bottom line. These
applications have been built with an understanding of data sources
such as Nielsen and IRI Scanner, Audit and Key Account Data, Panel
Data, Hogan Data, Media Data, IMS Plantrack and General Ledger data.
Moreover, our applications have merged internal company data with
these data sources to give the analyst a more complete understanding
of their business. Meta5's expertise combined with the Meta5 tool
set has allowed us to provide cost effective timely solutions to
application needs. |
