Presentation: " Inmon vs. Kimball: Let’s Get to the Bottom of This.
By Dr. Robert P. Conway |
|
|
Abstract
Bill Inmon and Ralph Kimball have contributed greatly to the advancement of data warehousing as a formalized discipline. Yet differences in their approaches have lead to the most zealous dogma over which approach is right. This presentation will objectively examine those differences and lead to a compelling conclusion that a hybrid approach that leverages the best aspects of relational and dimensional modeling is optimal. A hybrid architecture and methodology will be presented that dispel the myths that:
- An enterprise integrated data warehouse is too arduous and impractical because it cannot deliver business value in a reasonable short time. AND
- Incremental development of dimensional data marts inevitably proliferates non-integrated, point solutions that never converge to enterprise integration.
This RAPID Architecture and Methodology will demonstrate the ability to deliver incremental business value rapidly and still achieve enterprise integration and data standardization.
