1. Company introduction
www.acctiva.co.uk

2. In the old days people used outsourcing to save
money. For this they hired offshore suppliers at
lower rates. And received cheap hands to do
simple work.
In the end people lowered their short-term costs
and utilized additional pair of hands.
Even though sometimes these hands acted behind
people’s will.

3. But times have changed!
Reducing costs is not enough anymore.
driven by a vision 2

4. People now understand, they need not just
another pair of hands,
But hands and heads, who can meet people’s will
and understand people’s wishes.
These days people need not just an outsourcing
supplier…
But outsourcing partner to respond to changing
market conditions at a lower risk.

21. Data Warehousing Case Study
A leading Telco company with over 26 mln. subscribers received its reporting from
different departments in various formats generated from separate source systems.
Information was managed with the help of an in-house data warehouse system that
didn’t integrate source systems. One and the same data varied in different reports, as
there was no single source of correct information.
We proposed for the client an integrated solution of a Data Warehouse System
based on Oracle data warehouse methodology. This solution contained 3
integrated data layers: operational, detailed and analytical, to provide better
capability of the system. Users access to the Data Warehouse was accomplished
by means of SAP BusinessObjects BI tool.
At the end of the 16-months project the client received a single source of accurate
data, an improved reporting, reduced time of reports generation, quick access to
analytical data for all involved business users.
At present the System supports over 2 thousand users.

25. Business Intelligence Case Study
Our client, one of the leading commercial banks, had 3 separate DWH systems for
different data areas and types of analysis. But data from these systems could not be
integrated for reporting. Analytical reports were generated exclusively by the IT team
in the form of data sheets with no possibility for interactive analysis. Users received
their reports after constant delays.
We implemented Analytical Reporting System based on SAP BusinessObjects
platform for required subject areas, such as Credits, Deposits, Current Accounts
and some others. It included database for integration data from subject areas into
Data Mart and analytical reporting tool.
After 6 months of project lifetime the client received a set of over 200 ready-for-use
analytical reports and semantic layer objects (8 universes) for ad-hoc analysis.
Users received complete and correct data about their clients, accounts and their
transactions.

29. Data Governance Case Study
Our client, a big Telco company, has lots of operational data. But the more data
there is, the more difficult it is to process it, especially when nobody knows what this
data means, who created it and for what purpose.
The client had lots of data but no procedures to manage it, no assigned roles
for employees on each stage of data processing. There was no unified product
catalogue. As a result there was a discrepancy in the products profitability reports.
Data problems were being solved reactively, as nobody knew what to do when the
problem occurred.
Acctiva implemented Metadata Management System based on Informatica
Metadata Manager & Business Glossary and Collibra Data Governance Center.
As a result, client is able to understand his metadata, where it comes from and
can react on its changes proactively. All in all, he received a new level of quality in
his data that enables informed decision-making based on complete and correct
information.
