Abstract: A system and method is capable of providing a much more effective enterprise-wide decision support system. It consists of an integrated end-to-end solution including automatic generation of data warehouses or data marts integrated with automatic delivery of information from the data warehouses or data marts to knowledge workers throughout the enterprise using a "publish and subscribe" paradigm for dissemination of the information at any time, to any places, in any formats to any number of knowledge workers. This integration allows information in the data warehouses or data marts to be delivered immediately after every refresh of the data warehouses or data marts thereby allowing maximum utilization of the valuable information in the data warehouses or data marts throughout the enterprise to gain the most optimum decision support.
