Data Warehouse Services - we can help you ensure that your Data Warehouse is built to satisfy your business requirements and not just to satisfy technology fashion.

data warehouse warning WARNING! - Do not let your Data Warehouse programme be hijacked by the Technologists. It is essential that your Data Warehouse project is driven by the business. If your project is viewed as a technology challenge as opposed to a business challenge, then you are on your way to at best a project with debateable benefits, at worst an expensive white elephant.

Defining and Building your Data Warehouse

Before defining and building your Data Warehouse you need to be clear what a Data Warehouse is.

data warehouse, management information, business metric

Stanford University define it as:

"A Data Warehouse is a repository of integrated information, available for queries and analysis. Data and information are extracted from heterogeneous sources as they are generated....This makes it much easier and more efficient to run queries over data that originally came from different sources."

WARNING! - Do not allow your Data Warehouse programme be influenced by this type of definition. It is solution driven as opposed to requirement driven.

A better definition would be:

"A Data Warehouse is a repository of company information that has been structured to allow timely and reliable analysis of the company's business metrics."
