Our On Demand services are intended for customers who have a limited budget, and a narrow, specific analytical requirement (e.g. a few reports or a Key Performance Indicator).
Instead of having to pay a systems integrator to create a large data warehouse, so that a few important reports can be created, customers can instead pay us for each report that is required.
NOTE: We only provide these services in situations where the customer is expected to demand additional reports over an extended period of time.
The value to the customer can be significant.

Rationale |
| The
upfront investment is smaller |
Compared
to building a traditional data warehouse (costing approximately
$ 1.4 M, on average), paying for the cost of a single report is
much less. |
| The
risk is much lower |
Data
Warehouse projects have high risk and have a significant probability
of failing. By transferring the risk to Global IDs, our customers
can avoid risking time and money, building the data warehouse themselves. |
| The
Pay-As-You-Go approach allows companies to see value for the money. |
Unlike
traditional data warehouses, where the company cannot see any value
until a large data warehouse is created, and the first report is
built, the On-Demand allows companies to pay only for what they
see value in. |
We can offer to build data warehouses, and charge by the report, because our Product Suite allows us the create data warehouses at a fraction of the cost that it takes to building it manually. We can take this risk, only in situations, where we know that the data warehouse's business requirements are well understood, and the deliverables are well-bounded.
Example
An IT Project Manager needs 20 important reports in 4 subject areas. To create the reports, s/he requires a data warehouse that will need to source 1 terabyte of data from 10 databases, with a daily snapshot. The cost of the data warehouse is estimated to be $1 M ($200 K for hardware, $200 K for software and $600 K for services). The Project Manager has 2 options that he can pursue.
- Traditional Approach
- Acquire hardware
- Acquire software
- Acquire services
- Create ERD for Data Warehouse
- Start Sourcing Data
- Cleanse and Transform Data
- Load Data Warehouse
- Build 4 Data Marts
- Create 20 reports
- Cost = $1 M
- Risk = Hig
- Global IDs Approach
- Contract Global IDs to build On Demand Reporting Environment
- Global IDs provides hardware, software, services solution
- Global IDs creates 4 data marts with 4 crucial reports.
- Cost = $50 K per report = $200 K ( + Base Cost )
- Risk = Low.
We believe that the On-Demand model will allow Companies to reduce cost, and lower risk, while spreading out cost over an extended period.
