Data Warehousing
Data Warehousing is the process of taking data from separate repositories
to create a central storage area that contains the
most critical data for the organization. This process of data warehousing,
is a key foundation of implementing business intelligence. As companies
grow, their data grows exponentially with them. The data that is vital
to the organization is often stored in multiple separate databases
that dont talk to each other. As these silos of data are created the
process of accessing the right data for analysis becomes complicated
and cumbersome, making data warehousing a necessity. Until very recently
data warehousing has been the exclusive domain of enterprise companies,
due to cost and complexity of data warehousing enabling technology.
Tools like EMANIO Unite!, however, are beginning to make data warehousing
easier to justify, plan, design and deploy.
Data Warehousing for mid-sized companies
As mid-sized companies have had access to more data, the need for
data warehousing in this market has grown. While
enterprise data warehousing is a relatively well established market
with plenty of available software vendors, the options for affordable
data warehousing enabling solutions have traditionally been few and
far between. Tools like Unite!, with support for multiple data base
types and multiple file formats, provide mid-sized companies with mapping
tools that make the adoption of data warehousing easier and significantly
more affordable. There are a number of benefits to implementing data
warehousing for the mid-sized business:
Data Warehousing helps aggregate data
Through the use of a central repository of data, companies can create
data warehousing deployments where vital company
information can be made readily available to anyone. This centralization
of data (data warehousing) lowers costs and can result in productivity
increases, key benefits of data warehousing.
Data Warehousing helps identify gaps in data
Through the use of data warehousing, companies can discover gaps in
data that are caused by different systems. For instance,
data warehousing could help identify differences in customer data stored
in your CRM system vs. your ERP system.
Data Warehousing powers business intelligence
The most popular use of data warehousing is to power business intelligence
software like our own Insight! predictive analysis tool. By centralizing
all your key company data into one data warehousing project, its easier
to perform business analysis that could save you tens of thousands
of dollars, a key advantage of implementing a data warehousing solution.
Our Unite! data integration product facilitates data warehousing through
an easy to use interface that provides a drag-and-drop
means of mapping multiple data sets to a central
data warehousing database. Unite! works with many file and database
types, including MySQL - one of the most popular databases used in
data warehousing. Unite! can process over 20,000 records per minute
- the type of speed any data warehousing implementation must have in
order to maintain optimal performance. Regardless of your data warehousing
needs, it’s critical to remember
that any successful data warehousing project is going
to require planning, experience, a deep understanding
of data integration and the right tools for the job.
