Currently i’ve a discussion with an Inmon guy. I’m a Kimball follower at this moment. I think it’s true that the inmon EDW cost more effort to set up than the kimball approach but there are arguments that changes in the Kimball architecture is difficult.

You have brought to light an important issue with Data warehouse designing. I guess it could also be viewed as the debate between Bill Inmon(Top Down) and Ralph kimball approaches (Bottom Up) approaches. Designing an enterprise wide datawarehouse and then flushing it down to departments(Data marts) is a very big challenge, it takes huge amount of resources (money and people) to achieve it. These kind of initiatives seem to be undertaken at big organisations where they have this kind of leverage.

Thank you
