1 Overview

The Objective of the assignment is to create a case study for complete data warehouse life cycle.
It includes identification of source and target objects, ETL process design and development
along with creation of sample reports.

This assignment can be used across centers for DWH trainings. People who are undergoing
Informatica trainings can use this as an assignment after completion of their training program.

2 Introduction

The assignment is based on the processes involved in Prepaid Recharge and Billing of typical
GSM service provider organization. Customer, Product, Services, Invoice, Calls and Payment
data is picked from OLTP system and summarized according to needs of business analysts and
populated in Data Mart which is further used to generate reports to study existing business and
prepare future strategies.
