Welcome Inmon newsletter subscribers!
In the first article, Sizing Your Retail Data Warehouse, Dan Ross examines how to determine the appropriate amount of data that should reside in your data warehouse. Dan believes that retailers confronted with this question should concentrate on having the highest quality data and not be concerned with the quantity of the data.
In the second article, The Evolutionary Data Warehouse, I discuss how the data warehouse is an ongoing effort, constantly changing because of new customers, products, competitors and expenses. Essentially, the data warehouse will evolve as long as the corporation is viable.
I encourage you to use the Business Intelligence Network as your premier source for information pertaining to Business Intelligence, Performance Management, Data Warehousing and Information Quality.

A University of Colorado Study on Operational Efficiency of Data Warehouses
As data warehouse technology and deployment matures, efficient operation becomes a priority. This study aims to collect a data set of important variables for data warehouse operations to evaluate operational efficiency. Study participants will receive a free report on the study's findings. An addendum to the report will provide customized results to each participating organization. Organizations can use the study results to determine their relative operational efficiency compared to similar organizations.
All data gathered will be held in the strictest confidence. The survey itself should take just 15 to 20 minutes. However, you may need to devote some additional time to provide rough estimates for some variables in the survey. Participants who complete the survey within one month of this publication date will be eligible for a drawing of a micro hard drive MP3 player.
Take the survey.
