Dear Colleagues,

Saint Louis University is initiating a project to select and implement an enterprise data warehouse (EDW). As part of this process, we would like to talk to representatives of other Colleges and Universities that are currently using a data warehouse. We are interested in learning about the product that you are using and your experiences.

If you are willing to share your experiences with us, we would be most grateful. Please respond to this e-mail with the information below. We will contact you to schedule a brief 15 or 20 minute conversation at your convenience.

* Your name
* Your College/University
* Your position (e.g., information technology,
institutional research, registrar, etc.)
* Your telephone number
* If you purchased your EDW, the name of the vendor.

In a few weeks, we will be happy to share a summary report with other members of the mailing list.

Thank you for your assistance.
