The following implementation is an example on how this specific Architecture Building Block (ABB) can be instantiated as a Solution Building Block (SBB):
Enterprise Data Warehouse:
An enterprise data warehouse is a strategic repository that provides analytical information about the core operations of an enterprise. It is distinct from traditional data warehouses and marts, which are usually limited to departmental or divisional business intelligence. An enterprise data warehouse (EDW) supports enterprise-wide business needs and at the same time is critical to helping IT evolve and innovate while still adhering to the corporate directive to “provide more functionality with less investment.”
