Data Warehouse Automation
Since the 20th century, industries have sought to apply the latest technologies towards the production and delivery of goods. Famously, this began with Henry Ford’s first design of an automobile production line in 1914. As the process grew in utilization, the approach became known as process automation.
The core of the model, streamlining repeatable tasks and processes, has proven to be of tremendous value to organizations by allowing the reduction of human input and costs while maximizing efficiency.
As such, automation is currently being utilized within various areas such as manufacturing, operations, transport, and information technology.
And your team can do it too!

Our Expertise in Data Warehouse Automation
Legacy data warehouse solutions can no longer keep up with the current challenges of “Big Data” such as real-time/near-real-time reporting and analysis. This provides an opportunity for data warehouse automation.
As many of the design patterns as well as repetitive processes required in planning, modeling and integration of the Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) can be streamlined by means of automation tools.
In doing so within your own projects, you provide a highly efficient alternative to traditional data warehouse design. Moreover, this approach reflects modern agile IT development processes. Thus, making it possible for your EDW teams to quickly react to changes from the business side during a project.
That said, automation within a data warehouse is best supported by Data Vault 2.0. This is owed to the fact that Data Vault 2.0 Methodology is composed of consistent, repeating patterns and ready-for-automation data warehousing processes.

Business Process Automation
Using current technology, recurring tasks or processes can be streamlined as a replacement for manual effort. This is called business process automation or BPA. At the core of this type of automation is the goal of streamlining workflows to minimize human labor in repetitive tasks which in turn will minimize costs and increase operational efficiency.
And nowadays, it’s fairly common for companies to introduce BPA within their digital transformation strategies.
Once you have successfully introduced BPA into your organization, the following benefits can be expected:
- Generation of ETL scripts
- Metadata management
- Version control
- Data lineage
- Test automation
- Metrics for process execution
- Automated documentation
- Shorter development time
