According to a recent Aberdeen Group report, top-performing companies deploy business intelligence (BI) at a rate of 2.5x more than their peers. The foundation for any successful BI deployment is the data warehouse (DW). Understanding how to properly design and deploy a DW is therefore key.

In this third webinar presented by Kickfire and Sun, Joy Mundy of The Kimball Group overviews all the steps to build, deploy and maintain a data warehouse.

Specifically, this webinar will cover:

   * The readiness check

* Requirements gathering

* The different tracks (design, architecture, data, applications)

* Thinking ahead to operations and security

   * The next iteration of your data warehouse

This educational series is sponsored by Kickfire and Sun/MySQL. The webinar will also include a brief overview of the Kickfire data warehouse appliance and how it addresses data warehousing needs.
