Description
The Columbus Water Works (CWW) of Columbus, Georgia, hadmultiple information technology applications, each designed to improveproductivity in a certain area of operation. CWW employed a laboratoryinformation system (LIMS), a computerized managed maintenance system (CMMS), ahuman resources application, a finance application, a customer information system(CIS), and a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) application, amongothers. As these applications had been purchased independently, the hardwarerequired for each varied considerably. Also, as the number of applications grew,so did the duplicate information and data redundancy. This paper discusses theimplementation of a Data Warehouse at CWW. All applications transfer their datathrough the Data Warehouse which reduces the number of transfers required,creates a historical data set for management reporting and minimizes the impactof upgrading individual applications.
