This introductory-level course provides an overview of the activities, processes, and products involved in building a data warehouse. From business architecture to databases and access tools, the course examines the deliverables of data warehousing programs and discusses the resources and skills needed to produce them. While much of a data warehousing effort is expended in development projects, this course broadens the perspective from project to program and examines architecture and operations deliverables as well as those of development projects. The course emphasizes the common language, concepts, and understanding necessary to enable effective teamwork and achieve data warehousing success.
The data-to-value chain describes the transition from data to value as DATA —> INFORMATION —> KNOWLEDGE —> ACTION —> OUTCOME —> VALUE. This course focuses on those parts of the data-to-value chain that begin with data and end with information.
