The fifth presentation in our Data Warehouse Series explores the "Back Room", where source data undergoes preparation for "Front Room" consumption. In order to fully understand the data warehouse lifecycle, we must spend time understanding key Back Room processes and techniques, the most time consuming portion of any data warehouse project.

Our one-hour presentation features:

• Data Profiling
• Change Data Capture
• The Staging Area
• Data Cleansing and Conforming
• Meta Data
