3. Client : SBI - State Bank Of India January 2010 – April 2014
Project : Enterprise Data Warehouse
Company : Tata Consultancy Services
Project Description :
State Bank of India (SBI) is the largest Commercial Bank in India. The State Bank Group has 5 Associate banks and 11
subsidiaries. This group has the largest network of branches amongst Indian Banks with about 17000 (190001)
(branches/offices including about 84 foreign branches /offices.
Currently SBI manages its application specific MIS systems disparately. Most of the departments cater to the MIS
requirements by calling for Information from branches, Regional business offices, Administrative Offices, (AO’s), Networks
and Local Head Offices (LHO’s) use the information consolidated by various Departments through systems or manual
basis. Today the bank collects large amount of data about its customers and transactions. Customer information from
multiple sources overlaid on each other gives us another dimension.
In addition to providing MIS, Enterprise-wide Data Warehouse initiative intends to address the issues related to the
business critical areas like Customer Relationship Management, Asset Liability Management, Risk Management,
Profitability maximization, Channel strategy and management, Target marketing, Product Management, etc. to economize
on the cost of operations and get the best ROI on Bank’s Investments in Technology.
Following has been identified as some of the key objectives of the Enterprise Data Warehouse and management of the
information resources:
• Integrate data from existing and future systems for the purpose of query, analysis and reporting.
• Allow for the rapid response to requests for information from many sources
• Integrate and cross-relate information from different systems and sources for cross-selling and up-selling
• To implement information based strategy to enable customer identification and segmentation based on empirical
analysis within an environment of continuous learning.
• To implement a core DW technology and process infrastructure which in subsequent phases can also provide a
core business intelligence/reporting capability to the wider Bank business community.
The following are business drivers for the data warehouse initiative:
• Customer Relationship Management (operational, analytical and collaborative e- marketing, e-sales and e-
services)
• Asset Liability Management
• Risk Management (Basel II compliance)
• Product Management
• Channel Management
• Profitability
• Marketing & Investment analysis
• Human Resource
• Forex Management
• Defaulters analysis
• Branch performance
• Predictive modeling

5. Client : BioScrip Inc. March 2008 – February 2009
Project : Enterprise Data Warehouse
Company : Stopka and Associates
Project Description :
BIOSCRIP INC. is into a specialty pharmacy business, with more emphasis on the business opportunities arising out of
the Mail Order Business. BIOSCRIP INC as a company also specializes in supplying of drugs for special disease
conditions.
This project of BIOSCRIP was aimed at building their first ever Enterprise level Data Warehouse. Traditionally, BIOSCRIP
as a specialty pharmacy has been dependant on its regular reporting needs using their current desperate systems.
Thereby making it difficult to generate reports across the board. This also resulted in a serious short coming of analytical
reports to enable them to enhance their business and target specific areas that might need improvement.
Due to the short comings of their existing reporting solution, a need was felt to build and implement an Enterprise level
Data Warehouse. The design methodology adopted in the development of EDW was by following William Inmon’s Top-
Down method.
The first phase of the Enterprise data warehouse went live on 11/01/2008 within a record short span of 7 months of
development, testing and implementation. The data that is being gathered and merged in the first phase in EDW is from
two different systems based off of separate database platforms viz., Oracle and SQL Server with entirely different DB
architectures and methodologies including their internal Work Flow conditions.
The entire project has been classified into 4 major phases where in the 2nd
phase will see as much as 3 more desperate
systems being merged into EDW. The last 2 phases will involve implementation of a BI solution on top of EDW and to
expose the BI solution through the intranet and internet to BIOSCRIP’s internal and external customers.

Client : Target Corporation February 2007 – February 2008
Project : STDW – (Short Term Data Warehouse), Red Rock – (Enterprise Pharmacy System)
Company : Zircorn Technologies Inc.
Project Description :
6. This project of Red Rock is aimed at developing an in house Enterprise Pharmacy System. Target currently has a third
party pharmacy solution deployed at all of its stores across US wherever pharmacy exists. The basic reason for going
away from the third party solution was to be able to counter the unique Target requirements and also properly analyze
their customer base, that would enable for Target as a one stop shop to provide a unique and absolutely satisfying
experience to their customers (customers are called as guests at Target). The third party solution currently being used and
called as PDX, is a proprietary software solution developed and maintained by PDX Inc and hence has a few limitations
with respect to access to data for better analysis to a level where Target would feel satisfactory.
Due to the short comings of the third party solution Target Technology Services (TTS) devised a solution to extract all the
possible data that can be downloaded from PDX and loaded into STDW (Short Term Data Warehouse). STDW is an in
house developed and maintained Oracle database which had the like for like data structures. This database is not a
complete data warehouse, but mimics the term of a warehouse, but has proved to be very effective to the business
community within Target and those who are responsible for forecasting and developing effective strategies for improving
guest satisfaction and turnover. The reason for this effectiveness is due to the raw format in which data is present for all
analysts.
The design methodology adopted in the development of STDW was by following William Inmon’s Top-Down method.

was treated as a receipt i.e., as a gray produce and the forwarded product on processing as the finished product for that
assembly area. Each and every assembly area within the production line was treated as a department, which allowed
providing detailed reports for analysis on the areas for procurement of gray products processing materials, dyes, wastages,
