ABSTRACT:
This white paper proposes a specific architecture for building and integrated enterprise data warehouse (EDW). This architecture directly supports master data management efforts and provides the platform for consistent business analysis across the enterprise. We describe the scope and challenges of building and integrated enterprise data warehouse, and we provide detailed guidance for designing and administering the necessary processes that support integration. This white paper has been written is response to a lack of specific guidance in the industry as to what an integrated EDW actually is, and what necessary design elements are needed to achieve integration.
