A thorough update to the industry standard for designing,
developing, and deploying data warehouse and business intelligence
systems
The world of data warehousing has changed remarkably since the
first edition of The Data Warehouse Lifecycle Toolkit was
published in 1998. In that time, the data warehouse industry has
reached full maturity and acceptance, hardware and software have
made staggering advances, and the techniques promoted in the
premiere edition of this book have been adopted by nearly all data
warehouse vendors and practitioners. In addition, the term
"business intelligence" emerged to reflect the mission of the data
warehouse: wrangling the data out of source systems, cleaning it,
and delivering it to add value to the business.
Ralph Kimball and his colleagues have refined the original set
of Lifecycle methods and techniques based on their consulting and
training experience. The authors understand first-hand that a data
warehousingbusiness intelligence DWBI system needs to change as
fast as its surrounding organization evolves. To that end, they
walk you through the detailed steps of designing, developing, and
deploying a DWBI system. You''ll learn to create adaptable systems
that deliver data and analyses to business users so they can make
better business decisions.
With substantial new and updated content, this second edition of
The Data Warehouse Lifecycle Toolkit again sets the standard
in data warehousing for the next decade. It shows you how to:
Identify and prioritize data warehouse opportunities
Create an architecture plan and select products
Design a powerful, flexible, dimensional model
Build a robust ETL system
Develop BI applications to deliver data to business users
Deploy and sustain a healthy DWBI environment

Systems, a pioneering decision support vendor, in the 1980s. All
the authors are members of the Kimball Group and teach for
KimballUniversity. They contribute regularly to Intelligent
Enterprise magazine and other industry publications; most have
previously written books in the Toolkit series.
Ralph Kimball founded the Kimball Group. Since the mid
1980s, he has been the DWBI industry’s thought leader on the
dimensional approach and trained more than 10,000 IT professionals.
Ralph has his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Stanford
University.
Margy Ross is President of the Kimball Group. She has
focused exclusively on DWBI since 1982 with an emphasis on
business requirements analysis and dimensional modeling. Margy
