6 Chapter Opening Case: Quality Assurance at Daimler AG Source: Alperium/Shutterstock A core value of Daimler is complete customer satisfaction. Although the text remarks that the “obvious solution” is a data warehouse, understand that such technology was not available in the 1980s when Daimler was struggling to have its separate databases interact with each other Integration of information, especially when some of it originates beyond the boundary of the firm, requires (1) inexpensive computing power, (2) inexpensive and powerful networks, and (3) knowledgeable personnel to use the technology.

7 The Rise of Spreadsheets Spreadsheets (especially Excel) have become much more powerful – consider your Excel cases earlier in the semester Spreadsheets can import data from databases
