Construct and implement a data warehousing plan. In their efforts to collect information that will give them an edge, many companies have amassed vast amounts of data. Often this data becomes unwieldy and difficult to translate into anything useful. Data warehousing, storing all of this data in a system that allows for rapid retrieval of customized information, is the solution. This book, written by a data warehousing authority, is a step-by-step guide to creating and managing a data warehouse from start to finish, reviewing marketing, technology, and design issues.
The content of this book is well constructed and as a technical reference it is easy to read, unfortunately the poor grammer, spelling and incorrect web site addresses, dulls the credibility of the message.
Excellent content but very poor editing

Data Warehousing in Action provides the best overall content of any book that I have seen in terms of explaining the data warehousing process from end to end, especially around strategy and architecture. Unfortunately, it is also the worst job of editing that I have ever seen. Even spell-checking would have caught a lot of the errors. Perhaps it parallels the fact that you can still get meaningful and useful information out of a data warehouse even if the data quality is far from perfect.
