Abstract: This paper focuses on the data modeling part of a
Business Intelligence system. The proposed approach for
multidimensional data modeling aims to provide background
information techniques used to design InfoCubes, the multidimensional
structure within Business Intelligence and to
introduce a common scenario of the integrated platform. Within
a Business Intelligence initiative, monitoring is possible by
attaching the key performance indicators to the Online
Analytical Processing cube. Therefore, a minimal set of key
performance indicators are proposed. The proposed approach is
used to develop the pilot project of Business Intelligence
solution in Public Enterprise “Elektromreža Srbije“. Results
have shown that this approach can offer several benefits, the
most important of which is that no data other than keys is stored
in dimension tables. Finally, we conclude the paper with some
suggestions for future work. |
