Organizations invest millions of dollars and thousands of person hours designing, implementing and maintaining their EDW. Far too often, those responsible for the EDW are disappointed that the EDW does not provide a competitive advantage and costs to maintain it keep climbing.</p> <p>This presentation will explore the reasons why so many EDW implementations don't live up to expectations. We will also discuss some ways to have a high probability of success in implementing an EDW at a low initial cost and a low total cost of ownership (TCO) through Data Warehouse Automation (DWA) technology. We will discuss:</p> <ul> <li>How DWA significantly reduces time and cost, while at the same time increasing quality and user satisfaction</li> <li>Identify the industry leaders</li> <li>Discuss how DWA by itself does not necessarily guarantee success</li> <li>Discuss how Enterprise Database Design Patterns coupled with DWA help ensure success</li> </ul> <p>We will close with a demo of how DWA technology works by building a data mart for Sales with slowly changing dimensions and incremental loading, generating the data warehouse relational tables as well as cubes, populating the data warehouse and cubes and running some reports</p> <p>For more information and to register: <a href="http://www.damapdx.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=134">http://www.damapdx.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=134</a></p> 8:30 - 9:00 am - Sign In and Continental Breakfast 9:00 - 10:15 am - Presentation 10:15 - 10:30 am - Break, Chapter Announcements 10:30 - 11:30 am - Presentation continued <ul> <li>Free for members!</li> <li>$15 for guests to cover speaker and breakfast costs</li> <li>See our list of corporate members at: <a href="http://www.damapdx.org">http://www.damapdx.org</a> </li> </ul> <br> <p>The Portland Metro Chapter of the Data Administration Management Association has been serving the Portland Data Community since 1984.
