Usage and Perceived Impact of Data Warehousing: A Study on Korean Financial Companies

As data warehousing has evolved to become the technology of choice for developing data infrastructure in virtually every large company and many other mediumand small-sized firms, data warehousing has also received extensive research attentions from both academics and practitioners. Although several previous studies have investigated success factors and implementation of data warehousing, only few of them have explored end users’ perceptions of this system. Moreover, none of these previous studies was done on the company outside North America, especially in any Asian country. Thus, this study was conducted to identify factors affecting end users’ usage and perceived impact of data warehouses in Korean financial companies. Results suggest that Data Quality and End User Support and Training are significant factors affecting end users’ usage and perceived impact of data warehouses.
