How To Use Data Warehouses Strategically

By Exforsys | on September 11, 2006 |
Data Warehousing

It is not enough for a company to simply acquire a data warehouse. Many of them have done this, and they have still not been able to use it successfully. Once you purchase or build the data warehouse, you must learn how to use it strategically. There are a number of ways you can use a data warehouse in order to make important decisions. The data warehouse is merely a tool. It will not be useful to you and your company if you don’t know how to use it. One of the most important aspects of data warehouses is time. A company who knows how to use their data warehouse will be able to compete over time.

To successfully use your data warehouse over time, it is important to understand the past, present, and future. A company can analyze the information within their data warehouse to learn about the mistakes they made in the past, and they can find ways to avoid repeating the same mistake in the future. When it comes to the present, companies must be able to analyze information related to current issues so that they will be able to deal with them. When it comes to a future, a company must be able to study the data of the present to make smart investment decisions which will allow them to profit tomorrow.

Companies who use data warehouses will also want to place an empasis on learning. This is process that is ongoing, and it should never stop. While some mistakes may be made, they should not be repeated. It is also important for a company to maneuver quickly to find gaps in the armor of their competitors. Companies should use data warehouses to figure out the best ways to market their products. Employees should be given all the necessary tools and training to allow them to use the data warehouse. If they don’t like it, or they find it too complicated to use, they won’t use it. If this happens, the company has wasted money on a tool that their workers don’t want to use.

When it comes to strategic thinking, time plays an extremely important role. Data warehouses are directly connected to time. A company will study patterns, connections, and changes over a given period of time in order to make important decisions that can allow their company to succeed. A data warehouse is a tool that can allow companies to measure their success and failures. They can measure marketing strategies and other important information. While data warehouses are important tools to have in the information age, they are not the cure to all the problems a company or organization will face. Many organizations are under the false impression that data warehouses will automatically allow them to gain an edge on their competitors.

In reality, the data warehouse will only give your company an edge if you know how to use it. It is likely that your competitors are using data warehouses as well. The company that uses their warehouse with the most efficiency will be able to dominate in the market place. A data warehouse alone isn’t enough. It is simply a place where you store information. A data warehouse can become a powerful weapon when it is combined with tools such as data mining. A company that uses a data warehouse will need to learn how to analyze information. Once they’ve done this, they will need to make decisions based on the information they’ve studied.

Another issue that companies will want to look at is security. There are two ways that you can set up security for your warehouse. You can create a security system that covers all the data, or you can create different security systems for different types of data.

The latter is generally the best, because it is not always good to have too much security on certain types of data. For instance, you will want to place a higher level of security on your financial information than on marketing plans. However, the option that you choose should be dependent on your needs. It is also important for a company to decide how the data warehouse will be designed. There are multiple design approaches, and you will want to choose one that is useful or your organization.
