Business Process Architecture
Process architecture is critical to the bigger picture for IT strategic initiatives. RDF can design and support the implementation of prioritised strategic business process initiatives that address the end-to-end information flow through the organisation.
Data Warehousing
The process of consolidating and reconciling information from across disparate business units and IT systems to provide a subject-orientated, time-variant, non-volatile, integrated store for reporting on and analyzing data is complex. RDF has experienced consultants in the full data warehouse project lifecycle building successful data warehouses to a number of blue chip organisations. RDF can provide best practice principles based on our own agile development methodology, which incorporates data design and discovery, star and snowflake schema design, metadata management and data stewardship, ETL design and development, data mart design and development. RDF also can provide the expertise for data warehouses that are in a care and maintenance phase, where RDF can provide data monitoring and quality processes and standards.

Business Intelligence
Organisations need to maximise investment in BI – today and in the future. Where there is cross boundary engagement, BI maximises acceptance and value. This is where RDF brings the knowledge and understanding of an organisation’s Business Intelligence needs. In partnership with you, RDF will bring processes and standards to address any BI shortfalls and silos. RDF will incorporate Process Driven BI (decide, measure, manage and optimise) as well as Strategy Driven BI – aligning with corporate performance management. RDF will carry out an Information Audit, take inventory of BI initiatives across the business; identify gaps and overlaps; assess existing investments prior to building a strategy for a ‘single version of the truth’.

Best Practice & QA
Quality assurance is not an abstract concept - it is a measurable and tangible performance indicator of the value proposition of any offering. RDF has extensive expertise in defining and instilling best practice into every aspect of the organisation. We work collaboratively with our clients to create the right level of quality assurance to support the delivery of business benefits to your customers.
Data Migration
‘There is nothing certain but change’.
Whether it’s a new BPM initiative or a company merger, organisational change often initiates data migration of some magnitude. As your organisation goes through the process of data migration, RDF can assist in providing health checks on the existing source systems and reviewing existing batch processes; data profiling and impact analysis on dependant business applications; reviewing data quality and data monitoring procedures; and producing a detailed report on the findings and any remedial plan of work required to enable a seamless migration of data.
