The goal of the overall project is to provide a highly accessible, intuitive, single point of access to information maintained and/or analyzed by LDR. The vision for meeting this goal includes the development of a series of business area data marts and the development of an enterprise data warehouse. Due to the scope and complexity of the development effort, the system will be implemented in four distinct phases:
Phase I: Requirements gathering, development of enterprise logical data model, and design of first data mart logical model. Phase II: Development/implementation of the Department‟s first data mart. Phase III: Sequential implementation of full data marts across all business areas. Phase IV: Implementation of an enterprise data warehouse.
