FAQ

Quick answers to your big questions FAQ

01
What is a data warehouse?

The concept of the data warehouse emerged in the 1980s with one ambitious goal: to create a single source of truth capable of answering every business question with the click of a mouse.

In its essence, the idea of a data warehouse was always a business solution, aiming to centralize and streamline data from various sources, enabling organizations to make strategic decisions quickly.

01
Databases vs data warehouses: what’s the difference?

While databases offer quick access to real-time data for daily operations, data warehouses are more focused on analysis, providing insights from historical data to inform strategic decision-making.

For this reason, databases are typically used for transactional processing, while data warehouses are used for complex queries and generating reports that support long-term business strategies.

01
When were data warehouses invented?

In the 1980s and right through to the 2000s, we only had transactional databases, which were limited in their ability to handle complex queries and provide integrated insights. Despite efforts to repurpose them for data warehousing, they simply weren’t up to the task, leaving businesses with the wrong tools for the job. That is, until the cloud revolution.

Once cloud-based solutions arrived, they quickly transformed the data landscape, making it possible to store vast amounts of data and process it incredibly quickly.

With these breakthrough capabilities, it became feasible to create scalable, flexible data warehouses — and our proprietary ALPHA platform is your secret weapon.
