Abstract :
Unfortunately, IT shops in many organizations lack data warehousing expertise because they have deployed existing IT staff resources to address operational source systems and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems.

The paper discusses the benefits and disadvantages of data warehousing. It considers the keys to implementation success along with a few real world examples
