Learning Objectives
About this meetup
There are various new and different approaches to data warehouse modelling and development. Data Vault modelling is very popular in the Netherlands - but not yet in Belgium, so we look at this approach first. Compared to other popular approaches, Data Vault modelling represents a paradigm shift - a new way of thinking. Realising the full benefits of this approach means embracing this new paradigm in its entirety, so we take a close look at what Data Vault is, as well as its strengths and weaknesses in the first presentation.
We will also look at data warehouse automation - a modern but also not widespread solution approach to generate modelling, loading, transformation, scheduling and administration code automatically, much faster and less error-prone than with manual programming. Improved quality, increased agility and flexibility, more business-driven and easier maintenance are just some of the advantages of automating the data warehouse development process. But how applicable is data warehouse automation in your company ? What are the strengths and weaknesses of this approach ? Is this an alternative to Data Vault, or can you combine both approaches ? Can we also automate data warehouse testing ?
Finally, we look at practical, real life examples of the use of Data Vault and Data Warehouse Automation.
Who should attend ?
This free meetup is intended for business intelligence and data warehousing professionals who want to learn more about and discuss modern data warehouse modelling techniques, the data vault modelling paradigm, and data warehouse automation.
The number of participants from business intelligence and data warehousing consultancies is limited.
Full Programme
This presentation introduces Data Vault as the proven Ensemble Modelling technique and methodology for designing and implementing agile datawarehouses. Antoine will share his many years of experience with applying Data Vault, covering the improvement of time-to-market and quality via Automation, and focus on data integration and full auditability of the data. He also explains the best practices in implementation, such as using Data Virtualisation, and concludes with practical examples.
When implementing & maintaining data warehouses, automation comes in many flavours and is not only limited to the pure 'coding' part of all activities. Discover where automation adds value to the business in the complete life cycle.
Frederik Naessens (WhereScape) will give an introduction to data warehouse automation. Stefaan De Vos (Mind The Gap) subsequently explains why Test Automation is then the next logical step.
This presentation describes the architecture and approach for the "Agile" implementation of Data Warehouses. The cornerstones of this architecture and approach are Data Warehouse Automation and Data Vault modeling. The cases show the speed of implementation and the resilience to change of Data Vault Modeling. The examples explained during the presentation are real life experiences with the issues encountered and the solutions implemented for them.
