Abstract:   
     
   Data Warehousing:  Your Competitive Business Advantage
    
   Mastering data warehouse strategies will mean success (or failure) in
   migrating decision support systems (DSS) to the desktop while maintaining
   ties to corporate data sources.  As industry standard middleware gains 
   acceptance, organizations are increasingly capable of accessing a wide
   variety of heterogeneous corporate databases.  However, I/S organizations
   are being challenged by a lack of common data warehouse services
   including a business user-oriented repository, and copy management for
   replicating/synchronizing operational databases with DSS databases.  This
   conference will give you the knowledge and insight you need to put proven
   data warehousing strategies to work for your organization.
    
   By taking advantage of next-generation client/server architectures, 
   massively parallelized RDBMS, object orientation, workflow management 
   and GUI-based DSS, your I/S organization will deliver value-added,
   distributed decision making capabilities that will reinforce corporate
   rightsizing and re-engineering objectives.  At this conference, 
   industry experts analyze products and services from leading data warehousing
   and DSS vendors to provide business and technology insight based on practical
   experience.  These key areas of concern will be addressed:
    
   o  Marketing the business value of enterprise-wide decision support to
      your management.
   o  Mastering data warehouse architectures (physical and logical) that best 
      coexist with your operations.
   o  Selecting powerful and effective data modeling and copy management tools
      to support warehouse administrators.
   o  Identifying the right mix of compelling DSS/EIS tools to win 
      enthusiastic end user support.
