Summary: Answers Business Executives Concerns on Data Warehousing
Review: Data warehousing conjures many myths - both technical and business. Seldom is a marriage of business and technical skills more necessary than in data warehousing implementations. Many data warehousing books wax on the technical issues and requirements - such as data extraction, modeling etc. These are important and bring great benefits to any implementing team. However, till recently, there has not been a good book to follow through on the data warehousing implementation. The business benefits and how it can be enhanced from data warehousing are discussed in Larry English's book. Many reader, will no doubt, have data warehousing implementations and will want to enhance the investment. This is the book for you. Understanding the business is an almost primordial instinct that a data warehouse designer must have. Mr. English's book will enhance on this instinct and also give tips on cutting cost and finding areas of additional business value. Please let me know if you found this review helpful - contact me if you have any questions or suggestions. Thank you.

Summary: Keeps On Helping
Review: Every time I put the book back on the shelf, I wind up taking it down a day later to refer to it. Every chapter is jammed full of value. For those of us who are responsible for information quality initiatives, chapter 7, Measuring Nonquality Information Costs, is a must read. If you want to know how defective your data is, then read chapter 6, Information Quality Assessment, to learn how to measure and quantify your information problems. Concerned about the cultural issues in your organization? Chapter 13, Implementing an Information Quality Improvement Environment, will get you started in the right direction. If you are a "knowledge worker," supervisor, CIO, or on the business or IT side, this book is for you.

Summary: Data is an Asset
Review: I have been an information systems professional for several years now and I am happy to see that there is finally a focus on data as the asset it truly is. If I could put "certified data" on the Balance sheet as a separate line item, I would. I have been reading your book "Improving Data Warehouse and Business Information Quality" over the past several weeks and I have this ear-to-ear grin that some peers find disturbing. (Why does he get so excited about data?) High Quality Data=success.

Summary: Clear writing about a subject area that begs obfuscation
Review: It was refreshing to find an author who could write so clearly about a subject area that begs obfuscation. I have been most impressed by your first principles; as well as the structure and flow of the book. I appreciate the labour of love you have put into your authoritative text, and relish the fact that someone would take the time to help the rest of us focus on this important and very significant discipline. -- from the Author of <<Document Management for the Enterprise: Principles, Techniques, and Applications>>, John Wiley & Sons, NY, 1996.
