Page edited by Andrea Mocko

Administrative computing systems are optimized for collecting and processing data, not for analysis and reporting. Although extracting and analyzing data directly from such systemS is possible, it is difficult and complex. A data warehouse is a system that contains much of the data from the administrative systems transformed into an architecture that is optimized for analysis and reporting.

A data warehouse contains current and historical data organized in such as way that relevant data are clustered together for easy access.  The warehouse keeps several copies of the data from various points in time. Data in the warehouse are periodically refreshed with data from the operational databases.

Once a data warehouse has been built, various user-friendly reporting and analysis tools can be used to access it.
