Data warehouse is a relational or multidimensional database that may consume a very large size of disk storage.

(Gigabytes or even terabytes) It is a relational database designed for query and analysis, instead of transaction processing. It separates analysis processes and transaction processes and allow an entity to consolidate data from several sources. In the data warehouse database, data from various online transaction processing (OLTP) applications and other sources is selectively extracted and organized for the use of analytical applications and user queries. Implementation of a successful data warehouse involves installing a process for gathering data on an ongoing basis, organizing it into meaningful information, and delivering it for evaluation. Advantages of Data Warehouse 1. Suppliers Relevant information is provided at the time the suppliers need it. This may enhance the entitys relationship with the suppliers and improve the production effectiveness and efficiency. This may see in a more responsive and efficient supply chain. For example, the suppliers can long on to a secure Companys Web site and query information on the quantities of supplies shipped, delivery times, and prices. This information will help the suppliers optimize their product planning, ability to source materials, and shipping-fulfillment processes. Using Internet technologies and OLAP applications, an entity can share its data warehouse with its suppliers and treat them like divisions of the firm. New supplier can also look at the data in order to look for the ability for the company to pay the debt, if the company have done very well in their purchasing payment, the supplier can proceed to sell the goods to the company in credit. The suppliers also can know about the market of their products. The can know that how many products that can be sold within a month and what are the most popular products that have been bought by the customers. This helps them to planning more about the products and if the products are not sold very well, they can proper improvement in the products itself.

2. Customers Improve the buying decision making of consumers because information is provided when they need it. For example, the customers can view a summary of

the best selling product of a company. If they are interested with a certain product, they may drill down and see a detailed description of the product and the comment from other users as well. So, the more information the consumer collected before making a buying decision, the more intelligence decision is made. Thus, the consumers will appreciate the company for providing such useful and relevant information for them and therefore, improve the customer relationships and provide better product and service. In addition, Control issues Data warehouses are actually will exposes to the control issues once they have been open to the outsider. Security is another vital feature of a shared data warehouse. Some of the control issues are: a) The exposes of data to the competitors -since the company allows the external parties such as customers and supplier to enter the databases, they will get information about the company. Those who are already have an intention to make the company fall, then will sell the information to the interested parties that need for the information. For example, if the person that access to the databases is actually the person that related with the competitors of the company, they will use the information as an advantage to increase their sales and copy the strategy of the company. Besides that, this information can also to spread bad rumors about the company to the public. This can cause the image of the company damages. The ways on how to control it is the person that access in the databases need to have their own id name and passwords where this can be done by fill a form and required them to agree with all agreement and condition where one of the condition is they will be responsible for any misuses of company data. b) Increase in the costs -The increasing in the number of user for the systems can cause the increasing in the costs. This is because in other to shows only related pictures to the customers and also suppliers, the company need to modify the databases and this will raise the cost that related to the software and also developer. For example: in order to make sure that the supplier and also customer gain any appropriate data that they want, the company need updated the old system to be the system that related to customers and suppliers needs. The control that can be done for this issues is the systems that have been updated need to be make sure that the information given is only related with them and no others unnecessary information shows to them.

Besides that, the information no needs to be given by access into the databases but given hand by hand from the authorized person. c) The manipulation of data in the databases -the manipulation of information in databases can be occurs once there is no attention in key in the data. If the employee is careless and makes mistakes in key in the data, this cause the data becomes wrong. This can be a problem because the data can be access by others parities too. In addition, this can giving chances for the suppliers and also the customers to manipulated the data if the data related with them. For example, if the total payable for Company A is actually about RM1000 but the company key in the amount about RM1200, so the supplier will not mention about the incorrect amount but agree with the amount. Therefore, the company loses for about RM200 for the mistakes in key in data amount. So, the conclusion for this issue is the employee need to review the data daily and make sure that the data are correct in key in the databases and posted it to review for suppliers once the recheck have been done. d) No supervision in the number of people access -Another control issue is no supervision in the number of people access since anybody can be pretend to be customers and also suppliers. Even the implement of ID username and password also not give guarantee for the customers and suppliers to act for best interest for the company. So, the way on how to control this is by make sure that the access of the data can only be done in the company itself. The company has automatic teller machine that can allow customers and also suppliers to access through it without go to the front table. In addition, this suppliers and also customers must be provided a card as an identity card. They can only be access by using that card and that card cannot be transferred to others person. These customers and suppliers must return back the card to the company once their connection between the companies already finished. e) Increasing burden of the systems - Finally, as companies allow more people to access their data warehouses, the burdens on the systems increase, making scalability an issue. To help, the underlying database should be a parallel processing machine with multiple CPUs. Other performance boosters: efficient database designs that use such functions as summary tables; powerful application servers or Web servers that act as middleware between the data warehouse and the client software; and bandwidth that can handle the data transfers and increased number of users.

Conclusion In conclusion, the implementation of date warehouses help the company to manage data efficiently and effective and help the company to stay larger data safely in the databases and any information can be access easily because all data have been stored in one database. Even though, the security of the database cannot be sure but by having some control can help to reduces the effects of security. Finally, by allowing others parties access the databases, this will lead to satisfied customers and increase loyalty besides increase profits.
