The article reports that Premier Bankcard Inc. has made back the roughly $1.9 million it had devoted to a storage area network (SAN) and business analytics project. With rivals crowding consumers' mailboxes with the latest credit card offers, Premier Bankcard needed to find a way to pinpoint and acquire high-value customers. In 2004, building on a project that started in 2001, the company put into play an ambitious, multivendor SAN strategy to support a highly available and centralized data warehouse.

The article focuses on the use of business intelligence aids by the United States Air Force to tap enterprise data warehousing. Before an air force pilot ever climbs into a fighter jet for combat, there is a long chain of people and steps in the process of making sure that the plane is ready for a mission. Deep behind the front lines of the Air Force, there is an unofficial mantra among the information technology team in charge of the force's massive enterprise data warehouse and business intelligence initiative: get the right information, at the right time, in the right place, for the right people. It's been nearly four years since the birth of the Air Force Knowledge Services (AFKS) program designed to consolidate and centralize data from the Air Force's nearly two dozen Combat Support divisions. Since its inception, the AFKS has integrated data from nearly 30 different legacy systems. So far, of the Air Force's 22 Combat Support domains, the AFKS has pulled in data from domains including maintenance, supplies, finance, contracts and acquisitions and is currently working on integrating data from the civil engineering and training division.
