DW 2.0
Unstructured Data

Bill Inmon, world-renowned expert, speaker and author on data warehousing, is widely recognized as the "father of data warehousing."

DW 2.0
For several years now there have been different renditions of what a data warehouse is. There is the federated data warehouse. There is the active data warehouse. There is the analytical data warehouse. And none of these versions of the data warehouse are the same. In order to clear up the confusion and to establish a vision of where data warehousing is going, DW 2.0 has been created. This presentation is about what DW 2.0 is and how it addresses many of the shortcomings of the notion of what a data warehouse is today.

But now people are discovering that combining the two environments in a meaningful manner produces new opportunities for information. The unstructured environment has always been full of useful information. Now it can be unlocked.
