MIP’s proven data management record spans fourteen years of successful delivery.  The key to this success is the combination of industry leading technology, innovative technique, and a rigorous application of our methodology.

When embarking on a project, MIP applies its unique and proven roadmap for designing and implementing Information Management Solutions, management information systems and data mining solutions.

The result of over 12 years of research and practical experience, MIP’s methodologies address all aspects of data warehousing, decision support, and data quality, while making the best use of our clients’ existing facilities, resources and systems.

MIP’s approach includes guidelines and support for use throughout the project, encompassing organisational factors as well as technical and procedural issues.

The MIP methodology is a deliverable and process based methodology that has been developed by MIP to provide a framework for MIP consultants to follow when working with clients on data warehousing and/or data integration projects.  By following this methodology, consultants will use a consistent approach, as well as taking the guesswork out of deciding which deliverables to produce.

The framework upon which the MIP Methodology is built is primarily aligned with the Bill Inmon school of thought, which is described as the Corporate Information Factory.

The methodology has been set up to support the following types of projects:

• Health Checks & Strategic Audits
• Initial Proposals
• Data Integration Initiatives
• Preparation of Information Management Solution Scoping Documents
• Information Management Solution Implementations
• Data Mart Implementations
• Operational Data Stores
• BI Strategy, Design & Development
• ETL Strategy, Design & Development
• Metadata Strategy & Development
• Technology Evaluation
• Data Quality Strategy & Design
• Data Mining Model Development
• Data Mining Model Deployment, Measurement and Feedback Loop Process development
• RFP Preparation
• Post Implementation Reviews

MIP is CMMI and PMI compliant.
