TOOL SELECTION

home > technology services > business intelligence > tool selection

The business intelligence/data warehouse (BI/DW) landscape has changed considerably over the past few years. Implementing a new BI/DW solution is often performed as a reaction to the changing requirements and demands of today’s users. To avoid costly expenditures in data warehousing and business intelligence tools, HighPoint has established a DW/BI tool selection service offering which can help you confidently select the most appropriate tools for your current and future requirements.

Software selection should be driven by requirements, not by vendor fluff. Progressive organizations are leveraging tools and methodologies that provide a consistent platform for comparing software products and vendors against project requirements. HighPoint’s sound software selection process evaluates software products objectively against known business, technical, and non-functional requirements. Our solution facilitates:

• Requirements capture and management
• Requirements prioritization against multiple dimensions
• Software product feature weighting for requirement groups
• Software product evaluation against the prioritized requirements
• Creation of product analysis reports
• “What if” analysis to evaluate the impact of various feature and requirements weightings

HighPoint provides tool selection for:

• BI tools
• Databases, data warehouses, and DBMS
• Metadata management tools
• ETL and data integration platforms

Our approach is based upon DW/BI best practices. Through our objective experience and vendor-neutral perspective, we can assure your organization the best-fitting DW/BI tool selection. Our proven approach for managing requirements and selecting the most appropriate software from an objective perspective improves productivity and reduces risk during the process.
