PowerMart 의 개선점 PowerMart currently has some restrictions handling unstructured text-file data sources. Its source control could be more efficient, making it easier to move repository changes across unconnected networks PowerMart could improve its flexibility with global variables.

Although PowerMart captures meta data throughout the extraction and transformation phases, it does not yet have the capability to network together multiple data marts to form an enterprise view of data. Documentation was not addressing the transition thoroughly. Performance tuning was also an issue in the early stages of the project. Speed can always be improved.
