Only senior-level managerial attention will induce cultural change Reduction in the time and effort required to produce reports thanks to data consolidation. According to TDWI Research, the average data warehousing project costs $1.1 million and takes 10 months Enhanced ability to comply with regulatory requirements and greater to deliver, while a data mart project costs $544,000 and – and more confident – audit readiness. takes six months to deliver.1 Enhanced access to highly consistent information, as well as to Most BI solutions are used by less than 20 percent of unstructured data. employees (if that) and provide only departmental views of Enhanced ability to transform data into usable and actionable data. information.

- 12. Case Study: The Path Less Taken Wesco Situation Did not have real-time access to inventory at the branch level, and could not as a result easily shift supplies from one location to another to meet demand. Did not have immediate access to sales information from the field; this data was consolidated at headquarters via nightly uploads to an Informix database. Management could not quickly drill down to important customer-level information, such as which customers had recorded a dramatic drop in purchases and were perhaps getting their supplies from a competitor. The Informix system, installed in 1993, couldn‗t be tweaked much further. It was overloaded and underpowered. A key sales analysis report required 80 hours of processing time
