With this infrastructure in place, management must now focus on obtaining value from the data warehouse and leveraging these technologies to support better informed decision making. Analytic applications focus on the decision-making needs of an organization and help answer the critical questions that make or break organizational effectiveness. To answer these critical business questions, a data warehouse must be able to create and manage predictive information and provide the tools and applications to filter out noise in the data, quantify business relationships in the data and predict outcomes based on historical relationships and business decision scenarios. At the center of any analytic application is the need to forecast performance.
