The warehousing of corporate data into an architecture from which it can all be accessed is no longer an option for midmarket and large companies that want to be successful. Consolidating the information so that it is readily accessible, and to give the team visibility for reporting, analytics, spot queries and predictive capabilities is now necessary. Fortunately, pioneers established this long ago and this requirement is met in the field of Data Warehousing (DW) and Business Intelligence (BI). A Microsoft-based data warehouse can be implemented quickly and supports the analysis of data from many operational systems. In SQL Server, Microsoft has the fastest-growing data warehouse platform, with a comprehensive data movement platform, a manageable/scalable DBMS, and close integration with the Microsoft Office System.
