🚀 Project Requirements

Building the Data Warehouse (Data Engineering)

Objective

Develop a modern data warehouse using SQL Server to consolidate sales data, enabling analytical reporting and informed decision-making.

Specifications

  • Data Sources: Import data from two source systems (ERP and CRM) provided as CSV files.
  • Data Quality: Cleanse and resolve data quality issues prior to analysis.
  • Integration: Combine both sources into a single, user-friendly data model designed for analytical queries.
  • Scope: Focus on the latest dataset only; historization of data is not required.
  • Documentation: Provide clear documentation of the data model to support both business stakeholders and analytics teams.

BI: Analytics & Reporting (Data Analysis)

Objective

Develop SQL-based analytics to deliver detailed insights into:

  • Customer Behavior
  • Product Performance
  • Sales Trends

These insights empower stakeholders with key business metrics, enabling strategic decision-making.

For more details, refer to docs/requirements.md.


🏗️ Data Architecture

The data architecture for this project follows Medallion Architecture Bronze, Silver, and Gold layers: Data Architecture

  1. Bronze Layer: Stores raw data as-is from the source systems. Data is ingested from CSV Files into SQL Server Database.
  2. Silver Layer: This layer includes data cleansing, standardization, and normalization processes to prepare data for analysis.
  3. Gold Layer: Houses business-ready data modeled into a star schema required for reporting and analytics.
