Great book - but a bit outdated
Rating  (4)
Date: 2007-10-22
This book introduces us into the IBM view on data warehousing. It gives the reader an architectural overview on data warehousing. Moreover, it gives ample insight into project management of a data warehouse project. Amongst the subjects, one gets an idea on the roles within a project and how long a data warehouse project might take. Fortunately, this book is NOT a sales leaflet; instead it gives a balanced overview. Often real life situations are sketched to stress a certain point. The authors clearly know how data warehousing is undertaken in real life. The authors also show the IBM toolset. As this set is recently renewed (after the writing of the book) this part is somewhat outdated.

Good Book - This book explains data warehousing well from the perspective of using IBM tools to accomplish the task. A reviewer from Hoffman Estates, IL . says "Dilettante's Guide to Data Warehousing and Data Mining" Perhaps the person is talking about another book, and incorrectly describes this book thus incorrectly giving this book a low rating

Dilettante's Guide to Data Warehousing and Data Mining

As the care taker and primary business user of the world's largest customer data warehouse I was astounded at the naivete of the author. This document is more of sales manual for IBM product rather than a fair revue of current technology, practices and successful data mining and data warehouse implementation. There is little to no discussion on the need of having skilled persons to manipulate the data direct in the warehouse as opposed to having to export data to some black box product like intelligent miner. The author fails to disclose that with most very large applications (one terabyte plus) that traditional tools won't work due to the need to export large volumes of data out of the warehouse environment. This book is wrong on many fronts.

This book has value information about Business Intelligence architecture, it has comprehensive overview about Data Warehouse arquitecture and business analytics such as OLAP, Data Mining, Spatial analysis. And then explain deeply IBM technology and products for BI. The author uses a good and clear languaje, providing an outstanding look at business intelligence. If you are a Business Intelligence professional i recommend this book and also if you are using IBM products.
