Data warehousing leads to improved business performance
- Sybase, Inc., Houston, TX (United States)
Data warehousing is emerging as one of the most significant trends in information technology (IT) during the 1990s. According to William H. Inmon, sometimes referred to as the father of data warehousing, a data warehouse is a subject-oriented, integrated, nonvolatile, time-variant collection of data organized to support management needs. Data warehousing can: provide integrated, historical and operational data; integrate disparate application systems; and organize and store data for informational, analytical processing. Data warehousing offers opportunity to address today`s problems of realizing a return on massive investments being made in acquiring and managing E and P data. Effective implementations require an understanding of business benefits being sought and an adaptive, flexible IT architecture for supporting processes and technologies involved. As national E and P data archives continue to emerge and complement existing data reserves within E and P companies, expect to see increased data warehousing use to merge these two environments.
