The Challenge
CSSC Sports & Leisure is an organisation that promotes healthy living by providing sport and leisure opportunities to its members. Historically they held a great deal of complex information across a range of disparate sources within the business. To address this we were engaged by CSSC to build a Data Warehouse (DW).

Our Approach
A DW has been built using the latest SQL Server functionality. This manages the end-to-end journey, taking data from sources, importing it into the DW and providing managed outputs to various recipients.
Development was undertaken in several stages, using agile methodology and sprints. Stages 1 and 2 dealt with data sources in many formats. These were cleansed where required, prior to being imported, and regular imports were set up to ensure that quality data is available in a timely and consistent manner.
Stage 1
Involved analysis and a full understanding of the information available in the main members’ database.
Stage 2
Involved analysis of other sources across the business that hold data on the various products and services that members use.
Stage 3
This will involve joining up all the data sources to build a rounded member view, including all the products and services used (or not used).
