A data warehouse is a type of data management system that is designed to enable and support business intelligence (BI) activities, especially analytics, as well as for data mining purposes. They support decision making and reporting for users across many departments.

Data warehouses are solely intended to perform queries and analysis and often contain large amounts of archive data, typically holding historical data not maintained in operational systems.

At Maxwell GeoSystems, our MissionOS system helps large infrastructure projects overcome limitations with respect to data storage, access and interoperability. It provides cloud storage solutions, acting as a data warehouse, offering full web-access to the data and a bespoke software interface to explore and analyse large datasets.
