For many of today's IT organizations, data management has gotten out of hand. Faced with increasing pressures to retrieve the right data at the right time, enterprises are struggling to manage enormous and fast growing data stores across multiple data warehouses built through internal development, or acquired through merger or acquisition.

Tackling these acute challenges is the fundamental purpose behind this eBook which provides a rich and wide array of information on managing your information. This guide is constructed to give you and your organizations the means to pinpoint where data warehousing deficiencies often exist, and provide a meaningful roadmap toward resolving these chronic issues.
