Inhaltsangabe

Construct and implement a data warehousing plan.

In their efforts to collect information that will give them an edge, many companies have amassed vast amounts of data. Often this data becomes unwieldy and difficult to translate into anything useful. Data warehousing, storing all of this data in a system that allows for rapid retrieval of customized information, is the solution. This book, written by a data warehousing authority, is a step-by-step guide to creating and managing a data warehouse from start to finish, reviewing marketing, technology, and design issues.
