- Data Integration: Implement best practices for ETL/ELT processes, supporting on-premises and cloud technologies for seamless data integration.
- Data Sources: Identify and define data types and sources, ensuring compatibility and consistency across structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data.
- Maintenance and Backups: Establish regular maintenance, tuning, and backup routines to ensure DW health, performance, and data integrity.
