Customer Reviews

EIT has stood the test of time.

Bruce Love's book transcends the well-worn nostrums of data warehousing and wisely avoids the tired and homiletic redefinitions of database, networking, and data mining technologies. It is a book of case studies, grounded in experience and focused on business value, and is as useful today as it was in '93. For those who have read it, EIT is a valuable collection of metrics to return to regularly; for those who haven't, click on "Add it to your Shopping Cart," above

Great insight for anyone trying to exploit data warehouses

Bruce makes sense of what everyone is now calling "data warehousing." There is still a lot of confusion and hype in this market; however EIT provides the clearest frameworks and real world examples of how to truly exploit the data warehouse within the enterprise (and beyond). The author was ahead of his time in identifying that applications, not simply underlying technology, are were companies can gain an ROI in DW. However, EIT goes beyond that to identify specific business applications that deliver the greatest "bang for the buck" (pardon the cliché). I strongly recommend the book to both IS managers and business unit managers who are building or have built a data warehouse and must now figure out what it is good for. Solid "10!"

Important reference for data miners and decision makers

Whether you're data mining or building advanced decision support capabilities, this book is a must read for anyone who is considering implementing, enhancing, or evaluating data warehouse-based applications. You will need lots of bookmarks as you will find this book an important reference to re-visit often as your systems evolve
