Help Your Business Grow

Should be able to grow rapidly ⁄ Exponentially

A successful data warehouse will grow to fill the needs of all who see the benefit of using it. You must expect it to grow.

Therefore, the decision that was taken to build it on a PC initially may not be a long term solution.

Do not limit yourself to a single operating system or a language or database platform that only works in one operating system.

Should be a best of breed solution

A successful data warehouse should take advantage of ALL the tools in the market place available.

Just because a Software company builds a good database they do not necessarily build the best BI tool. And so on...

Good “glue” can make them all work together, so pick the best of each.

Should NOT need a cast of thousands to operate

A successful data warehouse can (and should) be run by a small team with the right tools and education.
