Data
warehousing not cloud-ready
Cloud computing may not be the answer for
data warehousing, say experts at a local conference.
By Theo Boshoff
Johannesburg, 11 Sep 2009
The idea of cloud computing proved to be a hot topic at the ITWeb Data
Warehousing conference held in Midrand, this week, and was marked as a
major challenge within the data warehousing space.
Ryan Jamieson, director at IS Partners; Keith Jones, MD of Harvey Jones;
and Barry Devlin, founder of 9sight Consulting, discussed the future of
data warehousing and challenges in the field in a session focusing on
the future of the industry.

Devlin said the cloud can be of great use, but in SA there are still
many limitations to using cloud computing as a reliable solution for
data warehousing. “The cloud can work with high-level connectivity, such
as in the US and some places in Europe, but if you can't get to the

The data
warehouse equals profit base
Data warehousing is increasingly about
business and profit values, rather than simply IT, says Harvey Jones.

Johannesburg, 10 Sep 2009
Data is a corporate asset and uses the biggest chunk of the IT budget to
create. However, data is useless if it is not turned into information
that creates value for a company – the data warehouse is the profit
base.
So said Keith Jones, MD of Harvey Jones, in his presentation at the
ITWeb Data Warehousing conference in Midrand, yesterday.

He argued that data needs to lead to change and that the focus is on
adding value to make faster business decisions. “The first measure of
success of a data warehouse is time-to-value, and this is more pertinent
than any other area of the business.”
