DESCRIPTION:Why do Enterprise Data Warehouses take so long\, cost so much
  and too often cannot answer my questions?  &#13\;\n&#13\;\nAn Enterpris
 e Data Warehouse (EDW) is a critical factor in getting a leg up on the c
 ompetition.  Organizations invest millions of dollars and thousands of p
 erson hours designing\, implementing and maintaining their EDW.  Far too
  often\, those responsible for the EDW are disappointed that the EDW doe
 s not provide a competitive advantage and costs to maintain it keep clim
 bing. &#13\;\n&#13\;\nThis presentation will explore the reasons why so 
 many EDW implementations don't live up to expectations. We will also dis
 cuss 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) throug
 h Data Warehouse Automation (DWA) technology.  We will discuss:&#13\;\n&
 #13\;\n&#13\;\nHow DWA significantly reduces time and cost\, while at th
 e same time increasing quality and user satisfaction&#13\;\nIdentify the
  industry leaders &#13\;\nDiscuss how DWA by itself does not necessarily
  guarantee success&#13\;\nDiscuss how Enterprise Database Design Pattern
 s coupled with DWA help ensure success&#13\;\n&#13\;\n&#13\;\nWe will cl
 ose with a demo of how DWA technology works by building a data mart for 
 Sales with slowly changing dimensions and incremental loading\, generati
 ng the data warehouse relational tables as well as cubes\, populating th
 e data warehouse and cubes and running some reports&#13\;\n&#13\;\n&#13\
