At Barcelona we have adopted a tried and true BI methodology. We believe that Ralph Kimball's Lifecycle approach enables us to deliver high quality and cost effective BI solutions for our clients. The differentiators of the Lifecycle approach are the following:

• • Business Focused - end users goals are solicited from the start
• • Data Centric - data is the lifeblood of an organization
• • Iterative - early deliverables drive learning and acceptance

From Ralph Kimball Each of the steps in the lifecycle diagram represent key activities for a successful BI implementation. We have broken the Kimball Lifecycle processes into three logical groupings:

• • Planning & Architecture
• • Data Modeling & Integration
• • Reporting & Analytics
