The initial success of this division was so significant that we were charted to provide a data warehouse solution to collect critical required data from a mix of legacy systems. We prototyped the data warehouse with one division extracting, cleansing, and loading their data using a staging warehouse approach. Their legacy solutions were acquisitions that had poor data management and controls so there were significant scrubbing. There were many business rules that would keep data from being update to the warehouse - it's always best not to update your warehouse with dirty data.
