[AccessD] Access and Data Warehouses

Hi Marty:

It is a very traditional complaint from and to a department with it's own
set of specifically customized databases and the ITS vision that data could
be better managed under one giant database system (warehousing).

In either case this is not a matter of service to users but who gets to
control the data and therefore control the people that need and use that
data. If you are the ITS individual working within a branch that is where
you want data control to be but as an ITS person managing the branch or
ministries' data, that is where the control should be and that is where you
want YOUR data warehousing.

As a contractor, I have floated between both camps and it is a matter of
empire building and who controls who and the process has little to do with
servicing the clients, common sense, capabilities etc..

My two cents worth
Jim

 Just an interesting article that mentions the proliferation of Access
databases when a Data Warehouse
is slow to come online. From an Australian Government audit.
