Web-enabled data warehouses deliver the broadest access to decision support, enterprise-wide - and if architected properly, they cost less than traditional solutions, too. Interactive Data Warehousing is the first complete guide to Web-enabling data warehouse, datamart and data mining systems. From start to finish, data warehousing expert Harry Singh walks you through architecting and building a Web-based data warehouse for maximum growth and flexibility. Clearly define your data warehousing goals; discover step-by-step techniques for choosing the best platforms, technologies and strategies; learn how to distribute data warehousing functions across the enterprise; and more. Discover how to integrate corporate data warehouses with intranets; make the most of CORBA or COM object technologies; choose the right roles for fat clients, thin clients, and multi-tier systems; maximize Web and network security; and manage your Web-enabled data warehouse once it's up and running.
