Business Intelligence - Data Warehousing White Papers

Support the Changing Business Needs for Business Intelligence and Performance Management Through Data Warehouse Lifecycle Management

Overview As organizations of all sizes and in all industries place increasing emphasis on Business Intelligence (BI) and performance management initiatives, demands on Data Warehousing (DW) professionals continue to grow. Increasing data volumes, number and diversity of users and ongoing user requests for decision support and reporting needs are increasing the complexity of DW projects. At the same time, the success rates of DW initiatives based on low satisfaction levels with poorly designed schema, long project lifecycles and unfulfilled promises remain high. The time, cost and risk associated with managing these broader and deeper demands can be reduced through the use of robust lifecycle management methodologies and supporting software.
