Data Warehousing is Becoming Mainstream

Data Warehousing is Becoming Mainstream
In the early stages, four significant features drove many companies to move into data warehousing:


  • Fierce competition
  • Government deregulation
  • Need to revamp internal processes
  •  Imperative for customized marketing  
Telecommunications, banking, and retail were the first ones to adopt data warehousing. That was largely because of government deregulation in telecommunications and banking. Retail businesses moved into data warehousing because of fiercer competition. Utility companies joined the group as that sector was deregulated. The next wave, of businesses to get into data warehousing consisted of companies in financial services, health care, insurance manufacturing, pharmaceutical, transportation, and distribution.
