Inmon Approach (Bill Inmon)

The Inmon Approach, developed by Bill Inmon, focuses on creating a centralized data warehouse for an organization. In this method, data is extracted from various sources, transformed into a consistent format, and then loaded into a structured repository. This allows businesses to analyze and generate reports from a single source of truth. Inmon emphasizes the importance of a formal design, ensuring that the data warehouse is robust and scalable. His approach supports long-term data needs and provides a comprehensive view of the organization’s data for informed decision-making.
