Large enterprises have been benefiting from Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence for decades. They have used these tools to optimize operation, lower cost, increase revenue, and ultimately stay ahead of the competition. Numerous studies demonstrate companies that use Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence are more profitable by a margin of 5% to 10%.
