Enterprise Architecture
Hudson helps clients design technology architecture components that are implemented across enterprise business units. In all cases we help identify near and long-term opportunities where technology can be applied to drive business value. We also:
- Provide infrastructure/architecture QA and oversight to project teams.
- Drive technology architecture standard setting.
- Define and document the data requirements and the physical data models necessary to support the overall enterprise application architecture, addressing data integrity, distribution, redundancy, warehousing and application access controls.
- Define and document the various system level architecture components, including hardware platform, operating system, execution, development, construction tools, operation, distribution and network architecture and technologies related to application systems.
- Provide standards, guidelines and statements of direction for enterprise IT system architectures, establishing a framework that constrains the design of systems for the purpose of integration of systems and accessibility of data supporting various interdependent business processes and functions.
- Analyze and assess computer/network architecture requirements and determine optimum, cost-effective solutions.
Data Warehousing
The mission-critical applications that process daily workflow and store vast amounts of detailed information in related, encoded tables promoting throughput and limiting redundancy. Because normalized data is difficult to analyze on an ad hoc basis, this hinders decision-making.
Data warehouses address this shortcoming by creating relatively de-normalized repositories of data which end-users can analyze quickly and intuitively.
The Hudson Discovery Process, based on extensive experience and industry standards, results in a roadmap to successful implementation of a Data Warehouse and includes steps such as
- Develop Strategy. Determine if organization needs a data warehouse of enterprise-wide data, data marts containing subject-specific information, or a combination of both.
- Develop Architecture. Select an open-standards-based platform and a database that offers the correct balance of compatibility, functionality, reliability, scalability and value.
- Devise Transformation Strategy. Determine where the source data is located and how it will be acquired, transformed and replicated.
- Select Presentation and Analysis Tools. Select query, online analytical processing, and reporting tools to enable end-user access to the data.

Data Management
In today’s competitive economy, companies must maximize the utilization of their resources. A corporation’s data assets are one of its undervalued and underutilized resources. From the daily management of operational data to the custom data architectures required to support closed loop applications, effectively managing your data is an imperative!
Hudson Global Resources can assist your company in becoming more efficient by lowering cost, improving utilization and identifying targets of opportunity in data management.

Desktop Management
Organizations typically have issues revolving around the acquisition and full life cycle management of PC’s, peripherals, servers, network equipment, and the standard applications included in their system and help desks and onsite support services. In fact, many sources state that you can multiply your total number of PC’s by five to estimate the number of moves and changes that environment will experience in one year. Hudson’s Enterprise Desktop Management group is well positioned to assist customers with all aspects of this environment, from procurement coordination through asset disposal. Hudson consultants are skilled at taking costs out of the business, enabling customers to run an more effective and efficient IT organization.
