Business Intelligence - Data Warehousing White Papers
The Myth of One Version of the Truth
Overview Since the advent of MIS (Management Information Systems), the "Holy Grail" has been to create a single version of the truth: a single set of reports and definitions for all business terms, a way, in short, to make sure every manager has a common understanding of accurate corporate information. In fact, an entire industry has developed to help businesses be able to provide "One version of the truth". Today, a proliferation of vendors and consultancies exists to provide software, services, and skills to build data warehouses based on tools and techniques that help extract, transform, and load data, using Business Intelligence tools to exploit that data in many different ways, such as supporting management reporting, ad hoc querying and advanced analysis.
