Small-scale analytic data marts and warehouses

This paper covers small-scale analytic data
marts and warehouses. That is, environments
where there is a substantial requirement for
complex and/or unpredictable queries but
not things like master data management or
operational BI (or only to a limited extent).
Note that neither SAP nor HP appear in this
update. In the former case this is because we
do not think that you would deploy SAP BW for
an analytic data mart unless you are already
deploying SAP BW as your enterprise data
warehouse, in the latter case it is because
HP is specifically targeting EDWs rather than
data marts.
