Data WareHouse
Data warehouse is a subject-oriented
database where data are associated to a
single organizational process (such as
Product Sales), often called entity. A
Data warehouse is integrated with
various source databases (part of ERPs
or other systems) and data warehousing
has enormous strategic implications for
business intelligence
and costing.
Data warehouse systems
belong to On-Line Analytical Processing world.
It enables enterprises with
Analyze situations and scenarios, giving decisional
support
Forecast developments and spot dangerous situations
in advance
Data warehouse systems and data marts are ERP's
eyes: without them your ERP is blind. ERPs are very
much aimed to develop an efficient OLTP platform.
Data warehouse systems and data marts are instead
much more OLAP-oriented. They are used to give
complex analytical pictures to the management. They
use data contained in various information silos.
Therefore, they are likely to use an ERP (and
something else) "...to make sense of it all...", by
providing essential entity control functions and
business intelligence.
