How Federated Data Warehouse Works
A Federated Data Warehouse solves the key data challenges that arise from complex and disparate database systems of large organizations which are a mix of legacy and modern digital systems. FDWs offer a master data virtualization layer which connects the gaps and enables the single source of truth for the entire organization by integrating data from key business processes, operations and metrics.
Data federation through FDWs works in two ways, catering to an organization’s global reach. A global data warehouse provides analytical capabilities at a higher level, while regional data warehouses meet business needs on a smaller, localized level.
The model of an FDW is developed from the bi-directional data flow between these warehouses:
- Upward Federation – Upward data federation allows the fact data to be moved from regional data warehouses to the global data warehouse. It also enables data aggregation during the movement, efficiently reducing additional processes.
- Downward Federation – Downward data federation allows reference data to flow from global data warehouse to regional data warehouses, strictly establishing consistency and integrity standards and parameters for organizational data. This especially impacts transactional data in corporate systems such as CRM and ERP where it is crucial for such highly critical data to be sanitized for entire organizational data consumption.
Over time, the model evolves in iterative method, resulting in a robust and comprehensive architecture which allows critical information, including master files, to be shared between various systems in the organization.
Benefits of Federated Data Warehouses
- Ease of Implementation: Instead of rebuilding a new system, FDWs integrate warehouses and BI systems into a new system with analytical capabilities across the function.
- Single ETL Process: FDWs only require a single ETL Process to manage them.
- Cross-functional Analytics: Common business modules being used across department-specific BI systems creates dynamic cooperation of various systems in the enterprise.
- Faster Implementation: Compared to the long process of building enterprise data warehouses, FDWs save on a lot of valuable time with their integrated approach.
- Seamless Growth: FDWs allow data warehouses to grow virtually without any limitations.
The foundation of an FDW is the common business model that offers it a unique form of data among all integrated data warehouses. Federated Data Warehouses offer not only cost optimization, but also a significant level of convenience for the organization.
