Technical Resources

Durable Impact's consultants have years of experience in business intelligence.  This allows us to offer top-notch consulting from people with experience solving practical problems in the field.  As part of our committment to technical excellence, we provide many resources to current and potential clients covering a whole range of data warehousing issues.
 
Our philosophy is simple - provide the best information available to the customer.   As part of our demanding partnership track, all of our partners are required to write four white papers a year for publishing in our knowledge base.   Our consultants also document each project in high detail.  These documents contain an overview of the work performed and any issues encountered during our consulting.  
 
The Knowledge Base contains the following documents:
- Client development overview and lessons learned analysis
- White papers documenting Data Warehouse resources
- All podcasts and webcasts produced regarding business intelligence
- Copies of all training materials provided by Durable Impact*
- Archive videos of training classes*
- Links and excerpts from business intelligence resources around the world

   1. Statement of Work
   2. Project Overview
   3. Data Modeling Document

All Durable Impact documents are created following the standards set by the Project Management Institute (TM).
 
All current customers receive full access to the Knowledge Base for the duration of their project and a period of one (1) year after the termination of business services.
