C-Byte's All-In-One Program, Complete Warehouse, Offers Deployment of Production Data Warehouse in 90 Days Establishes C-Byte as Premier Provider of Best-of-Breed Components and Services for Rapid Implementation of Decision Support Systems Calgary, Alberta, Canada (PRWEB) June 28, 2005 -- Building on its reputation, C-Byte, Inc. unveiled Complete Warehouse, its first packaged offering for deployment of an operational data warehouse/decision support system (DSS) within 90 days. Complete Warehouse is an all-in-one program that combines best-ofbreed components with C-Byte's proven methodologies and services to implement a data warehouse for a fixed price. This is the first packaged offering from C-Byte's Decision Advantage Program, a family of methodolgies, services, partnerships and offerings that leverages C-Byte's experience and reduces customer risk associated with building a data warehouse/DSS. Typical data warehouse/DSS projects can require six to 18 months or more to implement, and costs can quickly escalate into multi-millions of dollars.

"C-Byte is proud of its large systems track record," said Trevor Biscope, C-Byte's chairman. "We've packaged our design and implementation knowledge into a set of proven, business-oriented methodologies to deliver working data warehouses in a very short timeframe. The Complete Warehouse program lets our customers begin their data warehouse project on a small scale, building the foundation of an enterprise-wide DSS strategy which produces near-immediate business benefits at a very competitive price." Complete Warehouse includes C-Byte's Decision Advantage Implementation services to guide a customer through the steps to building a successful system using modern transactional analysis, workshop and dimensional modeling methodologies that ensure the value of the resultant data warehouse. C-Byte is uniquely capable of assessing the business requirements of a data warehouse/DSS through interviews and a series of comprehensive workshops that involve executives and seniour management, business analysts and the user community in the definition and logical design of the system. By focusing the customer on business issues, not system technology issues, C-Byte sets the stage for a rapid and successful deployment and a production quality data warehouse.
