The Data Vault offers intrinsic Business and Technical value, and today when doing more with less is paramount to implementation, the Data Vault can assist tremendously. Read what some of our customers have said about the Data Vault (below)... The full text is available inside the community.
 | Ben Isenhour, Founder, Isenhour Consulting >> Discovered Problems in the Source Model
As in any data modeling approach i had to query the source data extensively to determine if the vault i was building could break. as i was doing this exercise and extracting the business components from the source data, i slowly uncovered the problems that existed in the source model. the requirement of a hub standing on its own showed me that there were certain entity tables in the source which were really links. i could also begin to see where the source had been scabbed onto to solve certain modeling needs. it became very obvious that the source model was in terrible shape and that the act itself of bringing data into the vault was creating an unbreakable model.
i guess what i'm trying to say is if you are able to load the vault model that you build, then it's almost certainly modeled correctly. it's kind of a self fulfilling prophecy.
Ben | | David Wells, Education at TDWI >> Data Vault contains metadata at the cell level
Due to the nature of the Data Vault architecture, its' definition of separation of data by semantic grain, type of data, and rate of change - as well as its' combined effort of integrated satellites and business keys, it appears to be the only data modeling architecture to contain metadata at the cell level. Where every element holds meaning. | | Doug Laney, Metagroup >> Data Vault is the Next Big Thing
The Data Vault is a technique which some industry experts have predicted may spark a revolution as the next big thing in data modeling for enterprise warehousing...
Wilshire Conferences, Enterprise Data Forum Brochure, Nov 4-7, 2002 | | Clive Finkelstein Comments >> Solid Foundational Warehouse Model
This should be called the "Foundational Warehouse Model", and it looks to be a solid implementation paradigm that's highly scalable. | | Kent Graziano, Denver Public Schools >> Our conclusions on the DV
In planning to build a CIF infrastructure for Denver Public Schools, we have determined that the Data Vault approach is what we will use to build the central Enterprise Data Warehouse. We believe that this data modeling technique is the best suited for designing a central, historic data repository because of its flexibility to easily add new subject areas and attributes. This will allow us to grow the EDW in an organic manner, over time, as we discover new requirements. | | Mike Bush, Cendant TRG >> Reducing Growth of the Warehouse
At Cendant Timeshare Resort Group we were able to reduce our daily volume growth by 85% by applying the Data Vault technique and removing redundant data. In addition to disk space savings, the Data Vault allows us to easily add new information and rapidly create reporting subject areas as business needs change.
The Data Vault modeling approach should be the foundational core of all leading edge Data Warehouses.

The Data Vault is functionally strong and a viable architecture in implementing your Enterprise Data Warehouse. | | Michael Doves, CapGemini Consultant at Friesland Bank >> Friesland Bank
Within the Friesland bank, a medium sized Dutch full service bank, The Data Vault is implemented as the foundation of the corporate data warehouse. All datamarts are fully loaded from the Data Vault. The Data Vault serves as the single source of truth. The platform is Unix and Oracle.

Having adopted the data vault (DV) modeling methodology early in our BI environment implementation, we have found that there are numerous points of value this approach brings to our business. Perhaps not surprisingly, the business benefit is indirect but very real.
The reality for our BI efforts are that we have to roll out reporting and analytic structures with very limited resources (both infrastructural & manpower). Deciding to take a federated approach and create an Inmon style Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) as a staging area from which we would populate a single Kimball style (bus-architecture/conformed dimensions) Enterprise Data Mart (EDM) for our data, we had to accept that this approach requires more effort up front. It wasn't an easy sell. In our fast paced business environment, short delivery timeframes are highly valued. Elegant architecture is secondary to quick project churn.
Accordingly, our first deliverables were more of a repository of denormalized files rather... | | David Martin - About the DV Certification Course >> Data Vault Certification Course
I just completed the certification class last week. So I thought I'd write a
short post about it.
First of all, I'd like to thank Dan Linstedt for offering the class. I found it
fascinating, insightful, instructive, and exciting (It's exciting to be a part
of something that's going to really make a difference for my company).
I would recommend the class to anyone who's exploring the Data Vault
as a potential Data Warehouse environment model. The content of the
course was clear, even while it was heavy and a lot of material was covered.
The certification exam was difficult and demanding, but then you know that
when you pass, you've truly accomplished something.
Dan is a gifted instructor as well as a highly knowledgeable and creative data
solutions architect. On top of that, he's a nice guy. I promise that you'll enjoy
the class. I sure did.
And I passed!
Thanks agai... |
