5 Current Architecture Sanford DataWarehouse Data Point to Powerplay Cubes RCP & Graco Exchange (External data) iSeries (DB2) Microsoft SQL Server DTS Extracts NOMAX Replication Data Point to Impromptu Reports and Powerplay Cubes (Sanford) Irwin Tools DataWarehouse Data Point to Impromptu Reports and Powerplay Cubes (Irwin Tools) Wintel (SQL) P2 BI Staging P1 Movex ERP System Data Point to Impromptu Transactional Reports Data Point to Impromptu Transactional Reports. Sanford, RCP. Graco & Irwin Sarbanes-Oxley DataWarehouse Data Point to Impromptu Business Level Reports (Sarbanes)

8 Proposed Architecture Enterprise Environment Exchange (External data) Data Point to Impromptu Business Level Reports Data Point to Powerplay Cubes Staging Environment Wintel DataWarehouse Environment Movex ERP System Data Point to Impromptu Transactional Reports Data Views (DataMarts) Data Push (Changes ) Staging linked to ERP / Source SystemsEnterprise & Data Marts Independent of ERP / Source System Other Data Sources

9 Proposed Solutions for Architecture » Have to Change ▪ Combining the Extracts, the Overnight Window – Too Small ▪ Cubes Build Time – will increase ▪ Available Time For Data Extract – will decrease ▪ Re-handling Data – Time – Bandwidth » Options ▪ Part Data Extracts / Full Weekly Extracts ▪ Build Cubes Weekly, Incremental Builds ▪ ETL Tool

10 Solution » Vision Software- Integrator ▪ Reasons – Software iSeries and SQL Server Identify Changes Data Transformation Capabilities Daisy Chain (iSeries >>> SQL Staging >>> SQL Enterprise) Monitoring – Company iSeries knowledge Previous work – Prototype Test Project Plan Vision installed software / basic training Ran for 4 weeks Contact with Vision support during this time – excellent (and since!) ▪ Additional Benefits Identified – Reduced Development and Maintenance Time – Reduced Errors – Standardisation Single Data View Business Process Rules held once – Date and Time Stamp on Records
11
11 Current Status » Software ▪ Live Version Installed » Replication Status ▪ 25 tables replicating Movex to Staging ▪ 5 tables to Enterprise » Plan – 60 tables – 30 Master Tables – 30 Transaction Tables – Business Logic being applied to Enterprise – “Use of Data” – transaction date / time information
