Together, DB2 and the Sun server provide us a scalable data warehouse solution, with virtually unlimited expandability for our needs.
Good governance calls for accountability.
That's why, nowadays, technology-savvy governments rely on sophisticated information systems to provide their constituents accurate and timely information about the state's activities. Without this information it was difficult not only to account for various expenditure and revenue allocations, but also to provide the information sought by various industry groups and businesses served by the agencies. A seamlessly integrated system comprising DB2 data management software, Sun hardware, and Brio reporting tools, the warehouse has turned employees at the state agencies into independent information consumers. This has largely relieved the SCD of the onus of report creation and distribution. As a result, report production time has plummeted from two to three days to less than seven minutes, and the state has saved millions of dollars in labor and materials costs.
