Solution
Accenture and Avanade teamed up with Systembolaget AB to shape an Enterprise Data Warehouse and BI platform. The implementation of the new EDW and BI Solution is based on Microsoft technology and is based on a phased approach. The first phase was about establishing the platform, integrating master data and sales data which went live early 2010. This is based on item-level data from POS which is uploaded to the EDW once a day. The solution is prepared for “Real-Time” BI where POS transactions are posted to the BI system when occur. The second phase was about financial data and performance management, with a third-party planning tool, and went live late 2010. The third phase, Supply chain, is underway, which also will introduce SharePoint Server 2010 as the frontend for a selected user group of managers and analysts. SharePoint as a solution component has been validated in a Proof of Concept and the development of this solution is expected start early 2011.
