Is Your HR Data in a Warehouse or a Dumpster?

While visiting with a client this week, I learned about their internal HR data warehouse (DW) project to integrate workforce data with various HR functional systems. In about a year, they were able to bring in just college recruiting and talent management data, all of which originates in PeopleSoft. The client sounded weary from the challenges of trying to get agreement from disparate system owners on the construct and relationships of data elements and what should actually be housed in the warehouse, not to mention the constant resulting data integrity issues.  As they erred on the side of abundance, incorporating way too much unnecessary data elements, the DW became known as the “Data Dumpster.”
