The ‘father of data warehousing’ incorporates the latest
technologies into his blueprint for integrated decision support
systems
Today’s corporate IT and data warehouse managers are required to
make a small army of technologies work together to ensure fast and
accurate information for business managers. Bill Inmon created the
Corporate Information Factory to solve the needs of
these managers. Since the First Edition, the design of the factory
has grown and changed dramatically. This Second Edition, revised
and expanded by 40% with five new chapters, incorporates these
changes. This step-by-step guide will enable readers to connect
their legacy systems with the data warehouse and deal with a host
of new and changing technologies, including Web access mechanisms,
e-commerce systems, ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems. The
book also looks closely at exploration and data mining servers for
analyzing customer behavior and departmental data marts for
finance, sales, and marketing.
