When we begin building a data warehouse, we probably have to use as a data source a couple years worth of backups that are sitting in some archived, offline form such as tapes, CDs, or DVDs, collecting dust.
Be prepared to analyse each archived media for its structure and content before loading the data into the warehouse. You cant stop your data analysis after you study only the current format and content guidelines because at least a few things probably have changed over the period of time that those tapes, CDs, or DVDs represent.

During the data warehousing projects scope phase, you determine a push strategy to update the data warehouse is the most appropriate model to follow. To implement a push strategy, though, you must modify each source application to include code that detects when that application must push (send) data to the data warehouse.

Service-oriented Architecture
SOA is a method for systems development and integration in which functionality is grouped around business processes and packaged as interoperable services. SOA also describes IT infrastructure that allows different applications to exchange data with one another while they participate in business processes. An SOA aims to loosely couple services with operating systems, programming languages, and other technologies that underlie applications. This process is very similar to what happened with audio visual equipment while it evolved.

Because your data warehousing project affects every application from which you plan
to extract data, no matter how un-intrusively, the project also affects the staff members who support those applications and their databases (or files).

The network administration staff, already struggling with major companywide networking initiatives, now must help you figure out whether the network has enough bandwidth available to support your regular data extraction, movement, and loading procedures and, furthermore, whether you can secure the data from outside intrusion.
The database administration group, the people who handle all database structure creation and modification, are appalled that you want to frequently make changes to your data warehouses database definitions by yourself, without their involvement.

The program management office (PMO) is wondering why you havent filled out their mandatory set of templates to be Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliant because the PMO doesnt realize that youre not using their long, drawn-out waterfall technique for delivery (instead going with a more apt agile-delivery technique).
The business organization whose members today use data extracts along the lines of they arent perfect, but they give us mostly what we need suddenly find out that theyre losing their report-writing tools. To get their regular reports, they must figure out how to use the new business intelligence suite of tools that youre deploying with the data warehouse.
