Building an integrated data warehouse is very difficult, but it is possible. By using the best of both an Enterprise Data Backplane (EDB) and dimensional models the integrated informational backplane can work. The EDB ensures integration at the lowest level, one version of the truth, and historical data management. The dimensional model makes reporting and analysis easy. By binding these two models together with the Bound Entity Architecture (BEA) a complete system can be built. Basic modeling rules and metadata are used to tie the whole solution together. The final outcome will be an expandable solution that will make each new report easier.
