Data Warehousing, the Requirements Spiral

By: WhereScape

Industry analysts have observed publicly that large-scale decision support systems — data warehouses, data marts, and business intelligence applications — have a dangerous characteristic.

This phenomena, can be referred to as the Requirements Spiral. Seen from the perspective of the business, no matter how sophisticated, comprehensive, or useful the existing data warehouse is, users perceive it as: infrastructure. It is simply part of the assumed level of service. It’s what is already in place and nothing new.
