An Architecture for Implementing Executive Information System Using Data Warehouse

데이터 웨어하우스를 이용한 임원정보시스템 구축용 아키텍쳐

Executive information system (EIS) is a computer-based information system that supports decision makings ana management activities for senior executives. Data warehouse is a database that receives data copies from legacy systems and external data sources. Data warehouse is typically optimized for decision supports and can be an attractive solution for EIS implementation. This paper proposes an architecture for implementing EIS by the use of data warehouse. The architecture consists of ten implementation layers. Interrelationships among these layers are investigated for an effective EIS implementation. An EIS prototype for a real-fife enterprise is implemented to demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed architecture.
