Data warehouses are repositories that integrate and summarize historical and reference data from numerous sources. Warehoused data can be analyzed along several dimensions such as time, product, and geography to identify trends and gain competitive advantage.
Data warehousing is one of the fastest growing segments of the computer industry. Industry analysts estimate the current annual warehousing market at nearly $2 billion and project growth to $6.9 billion in 1999.
Up until now, businesses have used database technology and on-line transaction processing to track the flow of goods, people, and money. With data warehousing, companies can now analyze that same operational data to increase efficiency, achieve economy of scale, and actually make money.
