Data Warehousing: Presemt and Future

     Not too long ago data was not all that easily accessible.  Paper copies of everything were available but not readily so.  Additionally, information could not be organized as readily to perform multiple uses.  With the simplicity of storing data through computer servers, this data can be easily managed and manipulated to be put to use.  With this new availability to companies to have a centralized area, such as a data warehouse, to upload and download files from to manipulate, the sky is the limit.  Anything can be shared with anyone at any time which is dire in this day.  This will also help to prevent digital Darwinism to occur to different companies.  Those who are on the cutting edge technologies today are the ones who make most advancements and grow quickest. 

     The name of the game is "staying ahead."  These data warehouses are a key instrument that almost all companies now have.  Without it, most companies would certainly perish.  This obviously depends on the type of business that the company is involved in; however, almost everyone is searching for ways to incorporate technology into their businesses for the sake that it will pan out for them in the grand scheme of things.  In the short run, this technology change may cause increased cost for the upgrade and money and time for training for this upgrade; however, these companies methods will become significantly more efficient.  This new found efficiency will intern help the company grow and blossom.
