Résumé

There’s no shortage of information at most companies. The ability to do something with it is another story.

Analyzing information and acting accordingly is a key strategic goal of every business. But vast quantities of data are of little use if they are not structured and kept in such a way as to be readily accessible and applicable. Only optimally organized information can drive maximum productivity.

Blissful Data is a reader-friendly book that reveals what it takes to achieve a state of perfect organization within the environment of a successful data warehouse. This timely book will help the reader:

understand how data evolves into information that drives better decision making
recognize the pitfalls, caused by people and politics, that lead to short-sighted solutions and long-term problems
manage data warehousing costs, performance, and expectations effectively
apply project management fundamentals to data warehouse endeavors

Blissful Data includes dozens of examples, as well as case studies illustrating successful, unsuccessful, and disastrous data warehouse strategies.
