The Information Management Frame, which is developed by Peter Alons and Rob Arntz and described in the book About Facts and Things, has a number of 'pillars of application'. One of those pillars is the Data Warehouse pillar. In most of the successful Business Intelligence projects this pillar is filled with special models based on Dimensional Modeling. For reliable Business Intelligence it is necessary and essential that these models are derived from a conceptual information model created with Fact-Oriented Modeling (FOM), and that this conceptual information model is also actually validated by the knowledge workers.
The course Tailor-made BI offers a complete view on all possibilities that dimensional data structures, generated from a conceptual information model, yield to develop truly successful and optimal BI-applications for knowledge workers. Based on your specific needs, the course teaches you how to apply this true quality pursuing approach for the development of BI-applications in practice.
