 What is a Data Warehouse?
A Data Warehouse gives individuals within your organization ready access to accurate,
consistent information that can be queried and analyzed to assist in critical business
decisions. An integrated Data Model provides definitions and relationships for all
information in the data warehouse. From the model, you can simply implement your
particular business information needs. Once you've loaded your transactional data into the
data warehouse, you can:
 | Leverage your legacy data |
| Reduce the number of decision support systems |
| Re-engineer existing systems |
| Increase overall productivity |
