Services provided include:

• Project Senior Technical role, Technical Advisor or Consultant Designer (sometimes called "data warehouse architect") - typically providing 5 to 10 days per month throughout a long-running project, delivering designs and tools, plus solutions to the inevitable issues that arise during data warehouse build.

• Project Review or "Way Forward" studies - typically 5 to 15 days, with a written report and/or formal presentation as deliverable.

• Efficiency, Tuning or Problem Solving assignments - usually 2 to 5 days, with the objective of delivering faster and more effective SAS programs, particularly for large data files. Tuning can frequently save from 15% to 50% of original execution time - sometimes even more.

• Metadata management, tools and techniques - depending upon customer requirements, ranging from a few days to establish a sound testing and deployment environment for SAS Data Integration Server, to designing and writing custom add-in tools for code generation, cross-referencing and other extended use of metadata.

• Design Review studies - typically 5 to 15 days, covering data models, process design and metadata management. Again, a written report and/or formal presentation is the usual deliverable.
