Data Warehouse Architecture for Dior:
1. Define Objectives and Requirements

Objectives:

 Optimize supply chain operations.


 Improve quality control.
 Enhance customer experience through better insights.
 Support strategic decision-making and reporting.

Requirements:

 Integration of multiple data sources (sales, customer, product, supply chain, etc.).
 Real-time analytics and reporting.
 Scalability to handle large volumes of data.
 Security and compliance with data privacy regulations.

2. Identify Data Sources

Key Data Sources:

 Sales Data: POS systems, e-commerce platforms, retail store sales.


 Customer Data: CRM systems, loyalty programs, social media interactions.
 Product Data: Product catalogs, inventory systems, production logs.
 Supply Chain Data: Supplier databases, procurement records, logistics systems.
 Financial Data: Accounting systems, financial transactions, budgeting records.
 Marketing Data: Campaign performance metrics, digital advertising, promotional
activities.

3. Design Data Integration Layer

Components:

 ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) Processes:


o Extract: Collect data from disparate sources.
o Transform: Cleanse, normalize, and aggregate data.
o Load: Store the processed data into the data warehouse.

Tools:

 Use ETL tools like Talend, Informatica, or Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services
(SSIS).

4. Design Data Warehouse Architecture


Components:

 Data Storage:
o Centralized Repository: Choose between on-premises (e.g., Oracle, SQL Server)
or cloud-based (e.g., AWS Redshift, Google BigQuery, Microsoft Azure SQL
Data Warehouse) solutions.
o Data Models: Implement dimensional models such as Star Schema or Snowflake
Schema.

Example Schema:

 Fact Tables: Sales, inventory, financial transactions.


 Dimension Tables: Products, customers, suppliers, time periods.

5. Implement Data Analysis Layer

Components:

 OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) Cubes: For multidimensional analysis and


querying.
 Data Mining Tools: For discovering patterns and trends. Examples include predictive
analytics for sales forecasting and customer behavior.

Tools:

 Use tools like Microsoft Analysis Services, SAP HANA, or IBM Cognos.

6. Set Up Business Intelligence (BI) Tools

Components:

 Dashboards: Interactive dashboards for real-time insights into key metrics.


 Reporting Tools: For detailed reports and visualizations.

Tools:

 Use BI tools like Tableau, Power BI, or Looker.

7. Develop Data Access Layer

Components:

 User Interfaces: Web-based or desktop applications for accessing BI tools.


 APIs: For integrating data warehouse insights with other enterprise systems.

Tools:
 Consider using RESTful APIs or web services for integration.

8. Ensure Security and Compliance

Components:

 Data Security: Implement encryption, access controls, and authentication mechanisms.


 Compliance: Adhere to regulations such as GDPR, CCPA, and industry standards for
data privacy.

Tools:

 Utilize security tools like AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), Azure Security
Center, or data encryption solutions.

9. Establish Data Governance

Components:

 Data Quality Management: Processes to ensure data accuracy and consistency.


 Metadata Management: Manage metadata to maintain data context and lineage.

Tools:

 Use tools like Collibra or Alation for data governance and metadata management.

10. Plan for Scalability and Performance

Considerations:

 Scalability: Ensure the architecture can scale to handle increasing data volumes and user
loads.
 Performance: Optimize data storage, retrieval, and processing to ensure fast response
times.

Tools:

 Consider cloud-based solutions for scalability and performance optimization.
