The book was a top-down perspective: looking at the overall architecture and then dive into the issues underlying the components. Building a data warehouse for people who use or see this advantage and can determine what the future: what to buy the new technology, data warehouse, how to plan extensions to warrant expenditure and how you can save the current system - in practice.
