ABSTRACT
Introduction Business Intelligence Reporting, otherwise known as BI Reporting, or just BI, is the face of a data warehouse (Figure 7.1). BI Reporting is what the data warehouse customers see. All the hardware, software, data architectures, data models, Source System Analysis, Target System Analysis, and ETL applications culminate in data displayed on a computer monitor or printed on a piece of paper. All that work, the effort and investment, will be counted a blazing failure if the BI Reporting fails to deliver or all of that work, the effort and investment, will be counted a tremendous success if the BI Reporting delivers the data and value expected of a data warehouse, which will lead to subsequent iterations of data warehouse development.
