Inmon (Bill Inmon)

Bill Inmon is known as the "father of data warehousing." He developed the concept of a data warehouse, which is a centralized system that stores large amounts of an organization’s historical data from various sources. This allows businesses to analyze trends, generate reports, and support decision-making efficiently. Inmon’s approach emphasizes organizing data in a structured, consistent way, often using a top-down design. Think of it as a well-organized library where all relevant information is stored systematically, making it easier for users to find insights and make informed decisions based on past and current data.
