Abstract
While organizations routinely realize data is a key asset that must be exploited in order to achieve success in today’s competitive business environment, unlocking the potential business benefits of this data remains an elusive goal for many firms. In order to exploit the value of their data, many organizations have implemented data warehouses and business intelligence applications over the last decade, often at significant cost expenditure. These data warehouse environments serve to collect and integrate data, and to turn it into information that is accessible for query and analysis to produce insights that can inform and influence business decisions.
