Data warehouses with the DW 2.0 certification differ greatly from first-generation products, Inmon said. Among its benefits, the DW 2.0 architecture lowers data warehousing costs, he said. It also helps companies make better use of structured and unstructured data, a concept getting more attention from analyst firms such as TDWI and Bloor Research. And, a DW 2.0 data warehouse enables organizations to develop an agile data warehousing foundation that can evolve and change over time, Inmon said.
