The Columbus Water Works (CWW) of Columbus, Georgia, hadmultiple information technology applications, each designed to improveproductivity in a certain area of operation. CWW employed a laboratoryinformation system (LIMS), a computerized managed maintenance system (CMMS), ahuman resources application, a finance application, a customer information system(CIS), and a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) application, amongothers.

Also, as the number of applications grew,so did the duplicate information and data redundancy. This paper discusses theimplementation of a Data Warehouse at CWW. All applications transfer their datathrough the Data Warehouse which reduces the number of transfers required,creates a historical data set for management reporting and minimizes the impactof upgrading individual applications.
