The in2 datawarehousing concept, in2information, uses state-of �the-art components such as Powermart and Business Objects. On a daily basis, the system extracts and transforms transactions from the various transactional systems used within the group (Fidelio PMS, CIS, Back Office systems, etc.) and loads this information into a centrally stored datawarehouse. By doing this, all information is located and administrated from one single location and made available to all users through a common internet/intranet based information portal. The right information in right time to the right person has been the keywords for the solution which has been running as a pilot since summer. 

Scandic is now rolling out in full scale and the first two Data Marts to be implemented are Revenue Management and CRM. Further on, they plan to also implement similar Data Marts within others business areas such as Financials and Sales & Marketing.
