8. Data-driven DSS Permits users to drill-down from summary to detail Permits users to drill-up from details to summary Permits users to view data on different dimensions

9. Data warehouse Database Designed for decision support Batch updated Large amounts of data Can be subject oriented (Data Mart) Uses consistent definitions and formats Time-variant Historical data Not the same as OLAP

10. Sources of data for Data Warehouse From relational databases or Non-relational data sources Integration of data from distributed and differently structured databases Definitions and formats may not be consistent across sources Physical Separation of data used in daily operations from data used for purposes of reporting, decision support, analysis and controlling.

11. Data warehouse ETL = Extract, Transform and Load

12. Multi-dimensional analysis or OLAP systems

13. Multi-dimensional analysis OLAP software for creating multi- dimensional representations Original data comes from normalized two- dimensional tables Example database Tables: Vendors, Products, Outlets, Sales persons, sale records

14. Example application Vendors supply products Products belong to product-lines Products sold by specific sales persons Products sold at specific outlets Outlets located in specific regions Sales done in specific time period Can you spot the dimensions of sales revenue data?

15. Dimensional view of Sales data

16. How would you “Drill down” and “Slice and Dice”

17. Executive Information Systems

18. EIS To support information needs of the executive Data for specific issues and problems Can do trend analysis, and drill down Uses internal and external data Dashboard applications
