Dynamic Information Warehouse: A Technical Overview
The KALIDO Dynamic Information Warehouse (KALIDO DIW) is part of a Data Warehouse Lifecycle Management (DWLM) solution for effective and timely management of data warehouses — from creation and operation, through a lifetime of modification. Corporations implementing DWLM strategies based on KALIDO DIW cut development and maintenance costs by 50% and respond to new business intelligence needs 70% faster than traditional data warehousing approaches permit.
The KALIDO DWLM Suite automates the creation and maintenance of data warehouses and their master data. Ultimately, this provides more timely information for financial reporting and performance management throughout constant business change.
KALIDO DIW is the award-winning foundation of the KALIDO DWLM Suite, and it comes in two editions:
- KALIDO DIW Standard Edition meets large-scale, standalone data warehouse requirements in major national and international firms.
- KALIDO DIW Enterprise Edition supports global data warehousing. Multiple, federated data warehouses act as one for global and local reporting. This edition also includes KALIDO Master Data Manager.
The KALIDO DWLM Suite also includes:
- KALIDO Master Data Manager — a central repository for master data (such as shared data about products, customers and suppliers). KALIDO MDM users collaboratively store, consolidate and manage master data used by data warehouses. KALIDO MDM can also make master data available for use in projects such as enterprise application integration (EAI), portals, product life cycle management and others.
