All Levels What is data warehousing?
The process of constructing and using data in a structured manner is called data warehousing. Constructed by integrating data from multiple heterogeneous sources, data warehouse helps to support analytical reporting, decision making and structured queries. Data warehousing involves things like data consolidations, data integration and data cleaning. There are many technologies available in the market that support brands and companies in their task of making decisions in a fast and effective manner. By gathering, analysing and taking decisions, brands can make effective use of data. Information gained in a warehouse can be used in any one of the following domains:
- Tuning Production Strategies – By repositioning products and managing the product portfolios through comparison of sales report, either in a quarterly to yearly basis, these strategies can help brands to reposition their goods and services in a better manner in the market.
- Customer analysis Strategies – A customer is one of the most important marketing focus of all brands and companies. By analysing the buying preferences, budget cycles and buying time of a customer, brands can target their customers in a better and personalised manner, thereby creating real and genuine relationships.
- Operation Analysis Strategies – Data warehouse helps brands to make customer relationship management choices while at the same time making environmentally conscious decisions as well. This in turn ensures that brands can take better choices when it comes to a lot of things including management and operations of daily tasks.
There are two types of approaches for data integration namely query driven approach and update driven approach. Query driven approach is the traditional approach that is generally used to integrate databases that are heterogeneous in nature. The main approach here was to build wrappers and integrators on top of multiple heterogeneous databases; integrators were called as mediators. On the other hand, an update driven approach is the alternative to the traditional approach. This is a more popular medium because a lot of data warehouse is depended on a system that can use updates rather a traditional approach. When the system is based in an update manner, then it can be integrated in a faster and swifter manner, and at the same time be made available for direct analysis and queries.
Some of the functions of data warehouse tools and utilities which includes the following like data extraction, data cleaning, data transformation, data loading and refreshing.
What is the history of data warehousing?
Almost ten to twenty years back, companies began to grow and expand in multiple directions. This means that they needed to have access to information and data that was relevant in a swift manner, but this was not possible through the use of traditional information systems or technology that was being used at that time. This had severe consequences on brands and business development, because many of their reporting tasks could take days and even months to complete. This meant that tools were used to execute business rather than run business that affected the overall growth strategy and campaigns of the said brand.
Like they say, invention is the mother of all necessity and this need to have insights and information at their finger tips is what gave rise to data warehouse. All this resulted in data management becoming a very important aspect of strategic reporting and management. The key here is strategic as most executives are less worried about the daily operations of the brand and more with the overall look and business functions of the brand.
As with almost the case with technology, the number and types of databases in the second half of the century increased dramatically. Many large brands and companies found that the data related to their operations and management was spread across multiple devices and it was close to impossible for a single person to use the same data, due to lack of access. A key idea within data warehousing is that it takes data from multiple platforms and technologies; thereafter placing them in a common location that uses a common querying tool as well. In this manner, operational databases can be used on multiple systems for the most efficient operational business policy while at the same time having a common location and using a common language as well. Data warehouse takes this even ahead, by defining each term means and helps to keep it standard as well. (For instance, the gender of a person can be referred to in two ways and it can be standardised in such a manner that they can be used to refer to each sex.)
All these changes were done in such a manner that information was made readily available with affecting the daily operations of the brand. One aspect of a data warehouse is that it does not refer to the location of a place but rather the location of information that is made early available for a brand/organisation.
