Now, at this point, data warehouse management is concerned with two principal functions. The first is maintenance management. The data warehouse administrative team must keep all the functions going in the best possible manner. The second is change management. As new versions of the warehouse are deployed, as new releases of the tools become available, as improvements and automation take place in the ETL functions, the administrative team's focus includes enhancements and revisions.
