    The document discusses the Kimball and Inmon data warehouse architecture models. The Kimball model takes a bottom-up approach using multiple smaller data marts that are later combined, while the Inmon model takes a top-down approach with a single large integrated schema. Key differences are that the Kimball model is quicker but more limited in scope, while the Inmon model is more flexible but more complex and expensive to implement. The document advises considering user needs, timelines, and budgets when choosing an approach.

    These points will influence your


    approach
