Data Warehousing Myths:

What is Cloud Data Warehousing?

A data warehouse is a system that pulls together data from many different sources within an organization for reporting and analysis. The data warehouse is then used by the management to generate reports that aid decision making.

Cloud Data Warehouse is the process of building a highly scalable, highly resilient organizational data store on the cloud. There are several cloud data warehouse solutions including Snowflake, Amazon Redshift, Google BigQuery, ...

How Data Warehousing is different from Data Science?

Data Warehouse is all about bringing the organization's data in one place, a single version of truth the company can use for its analytics. Whereas Data Science involves using platforms like Data Warehouse and doing predictive analytics.

Data Warehouse can serve,

• For traditional reporting - Tableau, Cognos, BO Reports
  
• For Predictive analytics / Machine learning
  
• Data exploration/mining with tools like SAS, R, Python
  

So, A Data Warehouse is a company's asset which can serve for retrospective reporting as well as aid as a platform for predictive reporting as well.
