Abstract
Packaged solutions for business intelligence and data warehousing (BI/DW) have come of age. Enterprise application vendors and vendors with significant presence in the business intelligence space have integrated their BI/DW offerings and are providing a platform to quickly build and deploy enterprisewide BI/DW solutions. Customers have a choice to make now – integrate best of breed BI/DW packages in a complete solution or buy and customize pre-packaged solutions.

This white paper looks at custom-built and packaged data warehousing solutions; provides insight into their strengths and weakness; discusses their market presence and maturity; and offers guidelines for customers to choose between packaged and custom data warehousing solutions.
