To support sales and distribution, sales key figures supplied by different customers (retail trade) are loaded and prepared in a data warehouse system. The data is made available to the sales staff on the intranet. PTA is responsible for coordinating and implementing the ETL process. (ETL = Extract, Transform and Load)
Supplement
The system is based on an SSIS package (SQL Server Integration Services) which loads different data and structures into an MS SQL database. The package is also hosted in the database and executed daily via a job. The system collects several thousand pieces of data per day and is additionally enriched with internal data from the ERP system. Historical data is guaranteed up to 5 years in the past. The PTA designs and develops the ETL process for transaction-safe processing for import data. The development is outsourced to the PTA, whereas the requirements analysis and presentation of results takes place at the customer's site. The project is carried out with KANBAN. The results are inspected incrementally every two weeks with the customer and the further procedure is planned.
