Describe the team the client will need to provide
Response: A typical Phase I implementation will require the following roles from the client:
| # | Role (Percent Allocation | Responsibilities | |
| 1-2 | Data Architect (80-100%) | Work Group team memberRequirements analysis
Data architecture Data modeling/database design Database development/tuning ETL development Metadata management |
Technical strategy (e.g., tools, processes)Tool evaluation and procurement
End user support and consultation Standards development Visualization (BI) development Data analysis |
| 1 per source system | Source system Application Administrator (20%–40%) | Source system content expertise Report development and distribution |
Data validationAccess facilitation |
| 1 | Database Administrator (10%–30%—30% at startup) | Database environment configurationSecurity policy implementation
Database backup and recovery Database system performance management |
Database version managementDatabase error management
Database monitoring |
| 1 | System Administrator (10%–30%—30% at startup) | Hardware installation and configurationStorage
Server |
Operating system configuration and version managementNetworking management
Support for the following environments: ADW, visualization, and ETL |
Later phases will require identification of client Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) when implementing Advanced Applications. For a detailed explanation of our implementation timelines, see Keys to a Successful Health Catalyst Data Warehouse Platform and Analytics Implementation.
