I didn’t mean to write off data warehouses; they’re obviously a useful and important part of the enterprise technology landscape.

Most of the data warehousing and BI professionals I know have taken an interest in MDM and data governance. There’s a lot of wisdom out there about data and its management that can be shared between MDM and BI.

So like every other form of human endeavour, sometimes this is done well and sometimes it is done badly. This doesn’t seem like the best of arguments for writing off the entire area to me.
