Listers,

We are in our first year of production and our transactions are growing
in volumes unforeseen. Our management team, our customers, and our
clients are most interested in analyzing historical trends so they can
better predict future trends. At the moment we use ad-hoc reporting at
month/period end on our operational database which is the only database
structure we have at the moment.

Technology infrastructure
Oracle 8.1.7.0.0 on RS/6000
Cognos BI Tools - Impromptu and PowerPlay

I'm looking to plan for the future. What do I do? Am I to build a data
warehouse? What are best practices? Is anyone able to recommend
websites, articles, **books**, or share similar experiences to point me
in the right direction?

Thanks in advance for your help.
