Information Architecture

AS IS assessment

You need to know where you stand before planning for where you want to be. Pinion provides a "data process assessment" focused on benchmarking your data and governance policies against industry methodologies like FIBO and MIKE 2.0. This results in an actionable roadmap outlining your company's customized plan and leveraging what you already have. We believe that there is no “one size fits all” plan for business intelligence environments.

Pinion can evaluate your current data warehouse and data-mart initiatives for effectiveness. This assessment takes note of organizational and technical challenges and problems that can hinder performance, limit return on investment, and undermine end-user satisfaction.

An Integration Layer Data Model

Information architecture is the foundation for successfully implementing information-dependent business initiatives. At Pinion, we not only embrace this principle, we also practice it across the board.

Pinion consultants have successfully applied their architecture experience and their proven skill in creating and deploying situation-responsive approaches to the implementation of information architecture across a broad range of technologies that include:

  • Data analysis
  • Data profiling and quality assessment
  • Architecture/modeling
  • Business requirements analysis
  • Data source analysis
  • Data warehouse model design
  • Mapping source systems to the target data model

SHU

Head of Data & Information

I just wanted to show our appreciation for the great work you have all done in relation to the GDPR release that went live this weekend. It's been a lot of work, and you've done changes that are typically a nightmare to do in a data warehouse (without many errors). It has really been surprisingly few errors, for such a large and complicated release. I know that you put in a lot of extra work this weekend, to really make this release go live as smoothly as it did. We've gotten positive feedback from our users already, and it makes their reporting and analytics a whole lot easier. It also created the foundation for Santander to be GDPR compliant in the data warehouse, without losing any value in the data. So thank you very much for the work you have done, on the development and testing side, but also on the deployment / operations side.

TB

Head of Nordic Data & Information

I want to send you my most sincere gratitude for the services that you have provided for the Bank in the past several years. We would not have had such a functioning SAS Environment if it wasn't for you. Most of all I would like to show my appreciation for your hardware, software and environment handling. Without too much noise you have taken us through patching, upgrades and most of all Datacenter migration. The work you did, and the support provided during our COLO-Migration project was without doubt critical. Building and maintaining SAS Forum, Happy users and functional platform is valuable, On behalf of the Bank and from myself: Thank you.
