Re: Data Warehouses and MAPICS

[DaleGindlesperger@xxxxxxxxxxx]

If you don't need an ultra-sophisticated data mart, you could look at New
Generation Software's IQ product, with it's "data cube" add-ons.  Go see
www.ngsi.com, click on the pull down for "Select Products and Services".
We have this, and it's really, really cool.  In fact, maybe I shouldn't
limit this to "non-ultra-sophisticated" - it's quite powerful.

No, I don't work for NGS or any of it's affiliates - we just use it and
think it's a really neat and easy to use product.  Inexpensive, too.

Hello

Our management is pushing for a data warehouse/data mart solution to
integrate MAPICS data with data from other applications that run on SQL
Server and Oracle.

We're aware of the Cognos tool and the relationship with  MAPICS.

Just curious if anyone else has implemented a data warehouse and which
tools did you use for:
1) ETL mapping
2) Reporting
3) Which database did you choose? (DB2, SQL Server, Oracle, etc.)

Thank You
