  "Legacy" core systems, or Business Management Systems, are the lifeblood that supports the financial functions, and track inventory and sales information. In many cases, the legacy core systems represent 20 to 30 years of business rules and logic, customer and supplier data, and extensive internal and external interfaces, which makes replacing them seem impossible from the perspectives of cost, time, and risk. However, they provide the technology foundation that is the cornerstone to providing information for most of the business functions.

whitepaper Money, Time and Knowledge: The Advantages of Building Dependent Data Marts2006-08-30 01:00:13 SAS Institute
  One of the questions the author is most frequently asked by clients is which architecture strategy is best: independent or dependent data marts. Although both solutions have their advantages, the author usually recommends a Dependent Data Mart (DDM) solution. He recommends DDMs because they tend to provide the best solutions to the main requirements the clients have for data marts in general: they provide a better solution to integration problems; they provide easier maintenance through the ability to identify data errors more quickly; and they provide a better, wider view of the organization.   
whitepaper Answers at the Speed of Thought: Providing Real Time Information through Data Warehousing2006-08-29 09:46:57 Netezza
  Any time delay between a command initiation and when its effects begin is a threat in today's world, especially as speed is vital to stay ahead of fast-moving competitors. This time delay, known as latency, can plague the entire data warehousing experience. Data may take hours, or even days, to update - causing stale and inaccurate analysis.

This whitepaper will look at a family of data warehousing appliances, and how they are built to eliminate latency, allowing your users to get up-to-date information immediately, rather than using outdated data. In addition, an explanation of how and why these appliances can process data faster, allowing for faster queries and backups.

whitepaper Performance Management - Making It Work, Part 4: Data Mining to Support Performance Management With Analytical Intelligence2006-08-10 01:00:12 SAS Institute
  This paper describes how information technologies, namely data warehousing; data mining with their powerful Extraction, Transform, and Load (ETL) features, and business analytics (e.g., statistics, forecasting, and optimization) all produce data from diverse source platforms transparent. That is, these technologies convert raw data into intelligence - the power to know. In almost all industries and commercial sectors today, information is key to becoming competitive.
