Data warehouses are often at the heart of the strategic reporting systems used to help manage and control the business. The function of the data warehouse is to consolidate and reconcile information from across disparate business units and IT systems and provide a context for reporting on and analyzing:
- Corporate performance management
- Profitability
- Consolidated financials
- Compliance
As strategic as they are, enterprise data warehousing projects are highly complex and can be risky. Projects fail almost as much as they succeed, often because of long development cycles, poor information quality and an inability to adapt quickly to changing business conditions or requirements.
The purpose of this portal is to help data warehousing professionals keep the probability of success in their favor by staying abreast with the latest technology and best-practices topics, including:
- Data integration and reconciliation
- Data quality and master data management (MDM)
- Iterative delivery
- "Packaged" data warehousing applications

- Deployment and change management
