企业资源计划与数据仓库

传统的ERP系统属于典型的联机事务处理系统，它只是为企业决策层及员工提供了一个决策运行手段的管理平台，而不能直接提供满足决策所需的信息，即传统的ERP系统是很好的一个后台管理系统，而企业发展需要其同时具有前台管理功能，因而传统的ERP系统具有一定的局限性。而集成数据仓库的ERP系统则可以很好地实现这一功能转变，弥补传统ERP系统的局限性。与ERP系统以体系化结构方式集成的数据仓库能够在ERP系统运行过程中采集数据进行分析，并能将样本数据和分析结果存入数据仓库以便用户查询使用，帮助用户发现ERP系统积累的数据的潜在价值，进而帮助企业建立长久、广泛的竞争优势。

Enterprise Resouce Planning and the Data Warehouse

The traditional Enterprise Resouce Planning system belongs to the typical on-line transaction processing (OLTP) system. It just offers a management platform where enterprise policy-making level and staff can make decisions, but it can not offer necessary information satisfied for making decisions directly. The traditional ERP system is a very good back-office management system, but the developing enterprises need the ERP system with the front-office management function at the same time. The traditional ERP system integrated with data warehouse can realize the function change greatly because DW can remedy the limitations of the traditional ERP system. DW, integrated with the traditional ERP system in the way of system structure, can analyze the data drew from the ERP system, and deposit these sample data and analyzed results into itself so that users can inquire these later. It can help users find the potential value of data accumulated in the traditional ERP system, and then it can help enterprise gain extensive competition advantages for a long time.
