Data Warehousing

"A collection of data designed to support management decision making. Data warehouses contain a wide variety of data that present a coherent picture of business conditions at a single point in time."

At Influential we know that at the heart, of any successful Business Intelligence solution, exists a high performing, resilient and up to date Data Warehouse.

Integration Services

Data and systems integration is perhaps one of the most overlooked, yet pivotal activities that Influential is asked to undertake. In every significant company acquisition or merger, there's has to be a data and systems migration at the heart of the project. Un-glamorous and, if done well, almost un-noticed, data migration projects often suffer as a result.
