“Engineering" a data warehouse is a lot like engineering a physical warehouse. A physical warehouse is constructed using blueprints that clearly depict the building's infrastructure. In the context of DW engineering, these blueprints are all metadata – the contextual information describing the DW environment. Our ASG-Rochade™ Data Warehouse Application enables capture, management, and access to metadata across the enterprise. This facilitates change management and impact analysis as well as increasing decision-maker confidence in DW information.
