Abstract

This paper argues that organizations need to prepare for the integration of social media data into their data warehouses in order to fully understand their customers. Social media has quickly gained acceptance in its adoption and use and firms are eager to get their hands on it to better understand customer sentiment. However, social media data is different and more complex than traditional data and most data warehouses are not structured in a way for BI applications to easily make sense it. As a result, it is becoming critical for business intelligence teams to begin to understand the challenges this data presents and to better plan for the integration of this information into corporate data warehouses.
