Infrastructure for Dynamic Warehousing: IBM Industry Models

Today, businesses are adopting a new approach to data warehousing called dynamic warehousing. This approach combines the reporting and analysis capabilities of traditional data warehouses with real-time data access to operational data and unstructured information so that critical information is delivered on demand and in context wherever it is needed.

A key component of any data warehouse infrastructure is the data model that specifies how information is structured and how it is accessed for analysis and reporting. Traditional data warehouses are often built upon homegrown or application-specific data models that fall short of requirements for dynamic warehousing. These models will often become fragmented as well as increasingly difficult to use, costly and slow to respond to changes in business requirements. Learn how IBM Industry Data Models and IBM® Information Server provide a powerful and flexible infrastructure that supports the five steps for creating a dynamic warehouse.
