Customer Reviews

Great book - but a bit outdated

This book introduces us into the IBM view on data warehousing. It gives the reader an architectural overview on data warehousing. Moreover, it gives ample insight into project management of a data warehouse project. Amongst the subjects, one gets an idea on the roles within a project and how long a data warehouse project might take. Fortunately, this book is NOT a sales leaflet; instead it gives a balanced overview. Often real life situations are sketched to stress a certain point. The authors clearly know how data warehousing is undertaken in real life. The authors also show the IBM toolset. As this set is recently renewed (after the writing of the book) this part is somewhat outdated.

Good book about IBM Tools

Good Book - This book explains data warehousing well from the perspective of using IBM tools to accomplish the task. A reviewer from Hoffman Estates, IL . says "Dilettante's Guide to Data Warehousing and Data Mining" Perhaps the person is talking about another book, and incorrectly describes this book thus incorrectly giving this book a low rating

Great book about Business Intelligence architecture

This book has value information about Business Intelligence architecture, it has comprehensive overview about Data Warehouse arquitecture and business analytics such as OLAP, Data Mining, Spatial analysis. And then explain deeply IBM technology and products for BI. The author uses a good and clear languaje, providing an outstanding look at business intelligence. If you are a Business Intelligence professional i recommend this book and also if you are using IBM products.
