Growing Health EDW and Analytics Maturity

Catapult BI began this process in mid 2016 by undertaking a review of the maturity and expectations of the internal Health EDW user base. Following this we prepared a plan to implement a program to improve the effective use of the EDW. Key elements of the program include:

Establishment of training environments;
Designing, building and delivering a range of workshops and training sessions such as; EDW overview, Things to do with SQL, Effective use of Teradata and SAS, Effective use of Cognos, Things to do with maps and Reporting;
Designing, implementing and Running an EDW Community of Practice (COP);
Running EDW User Groups.

Development of the Health EDW Catapult BI had a dual role in this program of work. We were a specialist sub-contractor to Accenture who were contracted to build the EDW infrastructure for Health. We provided a range of skills related to the architecture, design and implementation of the EDW. Secondly we were a services provider to Health and we architected, designed and implemented applications for deployment on the EDW. The program has now been incorporated into an overall Health EDW environment, and Catapult BI staff provide services in the information architecture-related areas of:

information management and data architecture;
data modelling including both logical and physical data design;
data warehouse architecture and its relationship to business process architecture; and
design and development of ETL / ELT processes in compliance with the overall EDW environment architecture.

This project utilised Catapult BI staff with specific skills in information/data architecture and management, data warehousing, business intelligence delivery, data modelling, master data management, meta data management, and ETL and BI technical design and development, using a variety of tools and technologies including Teradata (RDBMS and tools and utilities), Informatica, SAS, Cognos and ER/Studio. Ongoing Operation of the Health EDW After the Health EDW development was completed the Department went to market for IT Services including the full provision, maintenance, and refresh of all hardware and software. Catapult BI is a sub-contractor to Datacom, and we are responsible for the operation of the Health EDW. This is a fixed price outcomes-based arrangement 5-year deal.

QUEENSLAND RAIL

Catapult BI were engaged to work with Qld Rail and its principal integrator DXC as part of the $4.4 billion New Generation Rolling Stock (NGR) program, to build an Information Asset based MDM underpinning the planning and management of train operations, and supporting the integration of broader QR related data. This provides a “golden record” defining the diverse set of assets existing within a complex state wide rail network.

A key aspect of the design of the MDM capability is to support the full set of geographical information required by the many applications required to support QR operations. This is essential for the identification of where all of the assets are, with many items requiring real-time tracking, and logging of movement history. Requirements related to scheduling of maintenance, live monitoring and inspection activities of rolling stock, tracks, signals, and all other elements of infrastructure are essential to ensure safety, timeliness, quality of service and experience for customers and QR staff. The four key readiness program indicators of: Operational Preparedness; Rolling Stock and Simulator; Safety & Governance; Infrastructure. All rely on the validity, integrity, and consistency of the data supporting the network operations provided by the MDM Project.
