Abstract

In 1986 the University of Missouri/Rolla began downloading corporate (system) data to its local mainframe as a cost-saving measure and to improve programmer productivity. After ten years, the campus has implemented a data warehouse. This paper covers those first exploratory years, reviews the data warehouse as it exists today, and focuses on a discussion of the trials and tribulations of today and into the future.
