WAREHOUSING
DATA MART
DEFINITION

• A subset of a data warehouse, focused on a specific


business area or function.
• Data marts provide users with access to relevant data,
enabling better decision-making.
NEED FOR DATA MART

• Focused Data Access: Data marts cater to the specific needs of a department (e.g., sales,
finance), allowing for targeted analytics.
• Improved Performance: Smaller datasets lead to faster query performance compared to a
full data warehouse.
• Cost Efficiency: Data marts can be less expensive to build and maintain than a full-scale data
warehouse.
• Ease of Use: Business users often find data marts easier to navigate, leading to quicker
insights.
• Scalability: Organizations can start with a data mart and later expand to a larger data
warehouse as needs grow.
COST-EFFECTIVE DATA MART

 Cloud Solutions: Utilizing cloud services for storage and processing can reduce
infrastructure costs.
 Incremental Development: Build the data mart in phases, focusing on high-priority data
first, to spread costs over time.
 Open Source Tools: Leverage open-source ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) tools and
database solutions to lower software licensing costs.
 Reuse Existing Infrastructure: Integrate with existing databases and systems to
minimize new investments.
 Automation: Automate data ingestion and reporting to reduce manual labor costs
DESIGNING DATA MARTS

• Identify Business Requirements: Collaborate with stakeholders to define what


data is needed and how it will be used.
• Data Source Selection: Choose relevant data sources that provide the
necessary information for the data mart.
• Schema Design:
i)Star Schema: Central fact table connected to dimension tables, ideal for
straightforward queries.
ii) x 0jSnowflake Schema: More complex, with normalized dimension
tables, useful for detailed analysis.
• ETL Process: Design an efficient ETL process to extract, transform, and load
data into the mart.
• Data Governance: Establish rules and standards to ensure data quality and
consistency.``` ` €v cccc
COST OF DATA MARTS

Development Costs: Include expenses for design, implementation, and testing, which can
vary based on complexity.
Infrastructure Costs: Costs for storage, processing power, and any software licenses.
Maintenance Costs: Ongoing expenses for updates, support, and training users.
Personnel Costs: Salaries for data engineers, analysts, and other staff involved in the project.
Opportunity Costs: Potential lost revenue due to the time taken to implement the data mart.
CONCLUSION

• Data marts are a strategic solution for organizations


seeking efficient, cost-effective data management tailored
to specific business needs.
• By considering the design and implementation carefully,
organizations can leverage data marts to drive better
decision-making and improve operational efficiency.
