Data Warehouse Consulting
Together we create the data basis on which your company can make well-founded decisions.
Data warehouse consulting: from data strategy to resilient infrastructure
Many companies are sitting on a huge treasure trove of data and hardly use it. Data is scattered across ERP systems, CRM tools, production databases and spreadsheets. Reports contradict each other. Decisions are based on gut feeling instead of reliable figures. And queries that should be answered in minutes take days.
The cause is rarely a lack of data. The cause is the lack of a central, structured and well-maintained data warehouse that brings together data from all relevant sources, keeps it consistent and makes it accessible for analysis.
We see ourselves as a consulting partner that pragmatically accompanies the path from the initial inventory to the productive data warehouse: without excessive complexity, without architectures that fail to meet the actual requirements and without solutions that are no longer maintainable in six months.
Because the real challenge does not begin with the choice of technology. It begins with the data quality, the system landscapes that have grown up, the different definitions of one and the same key figure in different departments - and the question of how a data warehouse is not only built, but also operated and further developed in the long term.
We support you in the structured development of your database and work with you to develop an architecture that fits your processes, your systems and your growth plans. If you wish, we can then implement the solution technologically and support its operation.

Why a data warehouse is the decisive step
Without a central, consistent database, any analysis is only as good as the data it accesses. A well-structured data warehouse creates the basis for everything that builds on it: Business Intelligence, Advanced Analytics and AI.
In concrete terms, this means for your company:
- All relevant data from different source systems converge on a central platform
- Key figures are uniformly defined - no more contradictions between departmental reports
- Analyses and dashboards access a reliable, up-to-date database
- Data protection and access rights are clearly regulated and comprehensibly documented
- The architecture grows with your requirements - new data sources and use cases can be added on a modular basis
From data warehouse to business intelligence & AI
A data warehouse is not an end in itself. It is the foundation on which data-driven companies are built. Once you have a solid database, you can build on it in a targeted manner.
Business Intelligence & Reporting accesses the data warehouse directly and delivers dashboards and reports that provide decision-makers with up-to-date, reliable figures. Advanced analytics and machine learning use the historical data in the warehouse as a training basis for predictive models. And AI applications - from anomaly detection to predictive maintenance - only work reliably if the database on which they are based is correct.
prodot accompanies you along this entire path: from data warehouse architecture to BI implementation and the integration of AI functions - all from a single source, with a team that understands both the data side and the business processes.

Questions & Answers
-
What is data warehouse consulting and what does it actually involve?
Data warehouse consulting refers to the professional support of companies in setting up, optimizing and operating a central database. At prodot, this encompasses the entire life cycle: from the inventory of the existing data landscape to the architecture decision and the implementation of the data pipelines through to integration into existing systems such as SAP, ERP and Azure as well as ongoing operation and further development.
-
How do I find out which data warehouse architecture suits my company?
We clarify this in an initial meeting and a structured assessment. We analyze your existing system landscape, your data sources and your reporting and analysis requirements. On this basis, we recommend an architecture that suits your size, your budget and your growth plans - not a generic concept, but a recommendation based on your specific situation.
-
How long does it take to set up a data warehouse?
This depends heavily on the complexity of the existing system landscape and the scope of the data sources to be integrated. For clearly defined initial expansion stages, the first productive results can be achieved in just a few weeks. Our modular approach ensures that a usable status is created early on, which can be built upon step by step - instead of waiting for full completion.
-
What makes prodot different from other data warehouse consultants?
We are not just a consulting company. As an IT service provider with over 25 years of project experience, we combine consulting expertise with technical implementation responsibility. The team that designs the architecture also develops and operates it - without handing it over to external subcontractors and with clear responsibilities over the entire course of the project.
