Following a pilot ingest of organisational hierarchy data, we are now loading fresh building space and building maintenance data in the new Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW), and presenting it in a range of 22 reports. Once the testing phase is over, the reports will be available in BI suite.

The data is extracted from the source systems, Archibus and the Org Hierarchy database, every day or every week, depending on how fast a particular type of data changes. It is then stored in a foundation layer where it is stored long term, ready to be integrated with other data. From there, the data is presented in an access layer for consumption. At the moment, the access layer can be viewed in BI suite, but we’re working on making it available directly in PowerBI and QlikView/Sense too.

Both listings and diagrams of what fields are in the access layer at the moment, are available from the architecture repository.

Other data will follow into the enterprise data warehouse shortly; most immediately staff and finance data as a consequence of the implementation of the new core system.
