This presentation will identify how to get a business intelligence implementation started, revitalized or redirected to ensure business outcomes are the primary driver of the project.

Developing a Data Integration and ETL Framework and Architecture
Data Integration and Extract, Transform and Load (ETL) components of Business Intelligence and Data Warehouse programs and projects account for a large portion of the effort invested and are usually critical to their success. Many Data Integration and ETL Tools are available and being used by organization to assist in design and development however without a defined ETL framework and architecture consistency in delivery, data quality, performance, maintenance and support can suffer. The framework and architecture provide a repeatable delivery process, data quality monitoring, development standards, audit balance and control mechanisms, enhanced maintenance and support.
The Data Integration and ETL and framework and architecture consist of:
a) Primary acquisition and integration.
