RE: Data Warehouses and MAPICS

["Roy Luce" <lwl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To the Group:

When responding to MAPICS@xxxxxxxxxx's questions about data warehousing
consider responding to the following unasked questions:

4) What was the initial size of your data warehouse?
5) What is its size today?
6) What are you predicting its size will be in 12 months.
7) Where does the data warehouse currently reside - AS400 or some other
platform?
8) if some other platform, why?
9) What applications did you "integrate"
10) Did you use a data warehouse or an operational data store approach?
11) Are the users currently creating their own queries or is IT still
involved?

Based on experience, from an intimate involvement in data warehousing
projects in a past life, these will become critical questions in short
order.

Subject: Data Warehouses and MAPICS

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
