Data Warehouses and Dashboards

/in /by

 

Competency

Examine how a data warehouse is created and used to support reporting and dashboarding.

Instructions

You work for a tourism board at a top destination within the United States that among other tasks, sends information out to potential visitors, provides advertising for the destination, sells tickets to local events and parks, and helps drive economic growth by attracting visitors to the region. The market research team for your organization has decided to try and gather more insight into how their ticket sales are impacting the local economy and have asked for your assistance.

The IT team has all of the data from the cash registers to show what tickets have been purchased and when, and the website has also provided reports of sales of different products. The marketing team also has data regarding who has requested information packets to be mailed to them about the local area and then came to visit. Partnerships with several national travel agencies and popular travel booking websites have also provided some great information on shopping patterns, time of year for bookings, and much more.

The teams agree that a new data warehouse might be an option for bringing the information together, but the CEO is historically reluctant to spend money on something other than promoting the destination for fear it won’t generate value. Despite this, they are a big fan of graphs, factual data, and other bits of information around the destination.

Your boss has asked you to help contribute to the argument in favor of a data warehouse–as this is going to be discussed at an executive level, you feel a presentation and information packet is the best approach to get your message across.

The questions they are presenting you with include:

  • What is a data warehouse, and why do we need it? What are the benefits of this technology?
  • Why would a data warehouse be a lucrative investment for the tourism board?
  • How would we go about implementing a data warehouse?
  • What would a dashboard be useful for? What kind of information could it show that we don’t already have in separate databases?

The task:

Record a presentation using the screen sharing Webware/software of your choice (an Internet search will reveal many free options). Your presentation can be recorded with your own voiceover and visuals, just as you would if you were giving the presentation live.

Your presentation should outline the benefits of a data warehouse as opposed to only using separate databases in isolation. Show specific examples of how the separate sources of data available today could be brought together to gain insight, and discuss the benefits of an executive reporting dashboard.

Create a summary report to accompany your presentation as a takeaway for your executive management team.

Worldviews of the religious rights have changed dramatically since the time of our founding fathers. This nation was founded with God at the forefront so it is no suprise that most of our doctrines and views this country has is based on a religous belief with God guiding the way. In today’s society it has almost became unethical to even mention you have christain beliefs. We no longer seem to as a government make decisions based off the bibles guidence but instead by what is least offensive to others. We as christains are forced to hold our beliefs to ourselves while accepting that other religions are important such as the Muslim faith. One thing I love is that although this nation was founded on beliefs of those who followed and loved God they made it clear that everyone was to have their own choice. This is yet another part of our country and worldviews that is taken from biblical scripture. I hope that someday we as a nation can accept all religions. Our worldviews need to come back to those that were help by our founding fathers. Although the world has changed drastically i believe they would be dissappointed by not only how far this country has moved away from God, but how drastically we think we need to move even further. I dont believe they made a mistake when they used terms like inalienable rights given by our creator or one nation under God. Terms similar to these were place in almost every document of this countries Foundation. I believe this is because they always wanted us to remember that God needed to be remembered to keep this country looking at the correct world view that the intended the country to follow
