::WELCOME TO FTR::

Data Warehouse Solutions :

   Data organization doesn't occur in a vacuum. It must occur in the context of the enterprise information architecture, supporting the framework of content, meaning, structure, and movement of data within the organization.

   Consequently, we carefully develop our solutions in concert with your enterprise-wide information and technical architecture. We offer strategic services that address the design and ongoing development of your information architectures. Furthermore, we implement systems that are designed to grow with the evolution of your business. This allows you to expand your architectures seamlessly, without losing precious time or momentum.

   Data structures and information architectures are dynamic, evolving creatures. It is necessary to periodically reassess these areas, making sure that your solutions still deliver maximum business benefit and value. To this end, FTR offers various services that can help you improve the performance and value of your current solutions, and assist in planning for ongoing evolution.

   With FTR, you not only get the best solutions. You also get the most benefits from the solutions you have.
We do this by balancing the development of the long term direction of your warehouse (the Program) with the short term need to deliver value (the Project). The concept is central to our Step-by-Step Methodology... proven and refined by experience. Key phases of the life cycle include: Establishing the Program; Preparing the Project; Initiating the Database; Exploring the Data; Implementing the Deliverables and Expanding the Environment.

   We also have the commitment, expertise and technical knowledge to make full use of automation tools, helping to speed the delivery of a successful data warehouse solution.
Our approach has resulted in one of the finest track records in the industry for successful data warehouse implementations.
