摘要：The literature on business intelligence mentions several critical factors that play an important role in the successful implementation of data warehouses. These factors help determine the proper techniques that guarantee their optimal usage. Based on empirical information, a data warehouse costs in excess of one million dollars and it is estimated that approximately 67% of the efforts at implementation result in failures. The dimensions of these factors that influence the success of data warehouses are still not clear. Reliance on data warehouses is becoming important as organizations are compelled to use their own data to produce reports that may indicate or better estimate tendencies in the market. In this research, we study six different business enterprises in Puerto Rico to develop an effective framework to implement data warehouses. Information technology analysts and managers, data base specialists, and application developers were interviewed on the critical factors in the implementation of data warehouses. The areas of industry represented by those interviewed were: education, finance, manufacturing and health. The results of these interviews and the case studies reveal that factors such as quality of data, range of project, methodology, technological tools and internal team work increase the probability that data warehouse projects are completed on time, within budget and with efficient functionality.
