Data Warehouse - Definition

A Data Warehouse is a subject-oriented,
integrated, time-variant, non-volatile collection of
data in support of Managers decision making
process.

----Bill Inmon (Father of Data Warehousing)

Data Warehousing

Subject Oriented

Data that gives information about a particular subject

instead of about a company's ongoing operations.

Integrated
- Data that is gathered into the data warehouse from a variety of
sources and merged into a coherent whole.

Non Volatile

- Data is stable in a data warehouse. More data is added but data

is never removed. This enables management to gain a consistent

picture of the business.

Time Variant
All data in the data warehouse is identified with a particular time
period.

Purpose
Data warehousing forms the basis of an extensive business
intelligence solution that allows you to convert data into valuable
information.
Integrated and company-specific data warehousing provides
decision makers in your company with information and knowledge
about goal-oriented measures that will lead to the success of the
company.
For data from any source (SAP or non-SAP sources) and of any
age (historic or current), Data warehousing in BI allows:
- Integration (data acquisition from source systems)
- Transformations
- Consolidation
- Clean up
- Storage
- Retrieval for analysis and interpretation

Transform Data into Knowledge

The more data a company has, the harder it is to make decisions

Companies are focusing on the collection of data, but not on the
use of it.
