"A pioneering voice in the data warehouse market."
-Jack Sweeney, President & CEO Intellidex Systems and Co-chairperson of the Metadata Council

In an age of information rich and poor, corporations are busy amassing gigabytes of data under the assumption that data is power. Data is plentiful - information is scarce. Data Warehousing in Action provides the tool to harness this data and transform it into useful customized bytes of information. This book is a fully comprehensive account of how to proceed with the data warehouse project in a clear step-by-step fashion. It is aimed at all those involved in designing and implementing a meaningful data warehousing architecture.

Data Warehousing in Action:

• identifies industrial applications for data warehousing
• provides a framework for building a data warehouse
• analyzes the options for choosing relevant architecture
• appraises the technologies used in data warehousing
• outlines methodology for managing the project
• explains how to futureproof the design

Following on from the success of Data Warehousing: the Route to Mass Customization (Wiley 1994), this book moves on to explore the next generation in data warehouse architecture.
