How do we do it?
Designing and delivering an effective data warehouse / business intelligence /
reporting solution presents different challenges, compared with traditional
projects for building operational systems. There are unique business
requirements to met, and the project team must be efficiently guided through
the process.
FDL does not apply a static set of technologies or techniques. Our success is
always the result of working alongside you, the client, using a robust yet
flexible development process that we
adapt to suit your unique needs.
Who are we?
Every member of the FDL team is a high calibre professional. We have built
extensive technical expertise and industry knowledge, through our work with
client in all phases of the project lifecycle.
There is no substitute for experience in the design and delivery of analytical
and reporting solutions. Many individuals and organisations claim capability,
but few really do have extensive experience.
Company Structure and History
FDL is the merger of the Business Intelligence capabilities of two well
established IT services companies, firstBASE and Ardent Consulting. firstBASE

Microsoft Worldwide Partner Program Awards. The selection recognised excellence
in the design, development and delivery of Project ECLIPS - a ground breaking
initiative for Northland District Health Board. Ardent Consulting focused on
all aspects of Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence solutions.
FDL forms part of the Fulcrum Decision Group. Also part of the group are:
