Our CEO Shared Data Warehousing Automation Insights

Ibrahim Surani, CEO Astera Software, conducted a talking session on ‘Model-Driven Data Warehouse Development.’ He started with the importance of data and highlighted major challenges businesses generally face when executing a data warehousing or integration project. He shed light on the indispensability of data warehouse automation in enhancing the quality, speed, and accuracy of data warehouse performance. He further talked about the ingredients for achieving data warehouse automation, which included source data modeler, dimension modeler, robust ETL engine, seamless connectivity, and high-performance ETL engine.

The crux of the talk was the meta-data driven model, which he explained in the form of a 4-step process, each illustrating the key aspects of automating the data warehouse development process. Ibrahim emphasized on the benefits of model-driven data warehouse automation, allowing businesses to cut maintenance costs, reduce time to market, and minimize handoffs between users and software tools, without compromising on the flexibility and power of the solution.

Discussions with Industry Experts on DWAccelerator

TDWI gathers industry experts and thought leaders from renowned research firms and Fortune 500 companies, some of which are instructors for the platform as well. We did several exclusive product demos and received positive feedback for DWAccelerator’s capabilities.

The product is capable of drastically reducing the time-consuming process of developing enterprise data warehouse architecture and designing ETL processes. He was impressed with DWA’s several features, such as automatic joins, load policy configuration, and flow generation.
