Twenty-first century businesses are looking for newer and better ways to improve all aspects of management, from day-to-day operations to strategic planning. You can bet your competitors are trying to do things better. Is your business doing everything it can to compete?
The key to good business strategy is having the highest quality information available, in an easy-to-understand form. Industries have already recognized that data warehousing is a powerful way to accomplish this.
A data warehouse is a repository of an organization's electronically stored data, from customer data to inventory costs and sales, designed to make reporting and analysis easy and efficient. The characteristics and benefits of a data warehouse are:
|
A common data model for all data of interest regardless of the data's source. This makes it easier to report and analyze information from disparate sources, such as sales invoices, order receipts, general ledger charges, etc. |
|
|
Prior to loading data into the data warehouse, inconsistencies are identified and resolved, further simplifying reporting and analysis.
|
|
|
Information in the data warehouse can be stored safely for extended periods, with whatever redundant backups are necessary. |
|
|
Because they are separate from operational systems, data warehouses provide retrieval of data without slowing down operational systems. |
|
|
Data warehouses can work in conjunction with business applications, notably customer relationship management (CRM) systems, enhancing the value of both systems. |
Data warehousing is just one key to a powerful BI solution. You have reams and reams of raw data on everything from conversion rates to sales revenue, but do you have the capacity to analyze it and extract the greatest possible benefit? Do you have the technology in place?
Could you do it better?
