Our solution
Integrated Advisory Desktop (IAD) is a hosted solution and runs either on Cloud or Mindtree / customer’s server. IAD is supported by its internal data model developed in SQL Server 2012. All the data is received periodically from the customer’s data warehouse in XML file format, or by directly integrating with them.
The solution includes the data management activity received from the customer’s data warehouse. Data integration, cleansing and harmonization are a part of the solution implementation phase. Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) cubes will be created for better performance of the system. Extract, Transform and Load (ETL) jobs will be created to load source data into IAD database periodically (hourly / daily / weekly).
The iPad application will be circulated through Apple App store. It will be available only in online mode. All data flow from IAD data warehouse to iPad will be in XML format, through web services developed using ASP.Net 4.0.
