It includes the processes, roles and policies, standards and metrics that ensure the effective and efficient use of information in enabling an organization to achieve its goals." In a nutshell, information can be one of our greatest assets - the fuel that drives our business and its processes. But, it can also be a liability.

In many cases, hundreds of millions of records can be handled with split-second response times, especially when dealing with aggregate queries on modern hardware. But today, a considerable number of organizations are clinging to 90s ETL technology. ETL seems to be an addiction for IT organizations because they still consider millions of records a lot of data. But having more memory than data may allow for these organizations to have their cake and eat it too. And today, getting to this point is dirt-cheap.
