AbstractHistorical data compiled in a computer system can be extracted to provide a wealth of intelligent resources to improve the efficiency of an organization. Data Warehousing is the solution that helps companies search for hidden treasure within a mass of data, to provide powerful decision support for exploring greater business opportunities.
