28. Why go Operational Data Vault? Benefits Include Direct access to data Removal of 90% of batch streams, replaced by Transactions Better/faster alerting capabilities Direct control over changes to BI answer sets What are the risks? The Data Vault EDW becomes an ODV, brings with it ALL responsibilities of the Operational System What are the problems? Row Locking Consistent Data Access Data Version Control Security of Data through access points Has it been done before?
