Razlog za izgradnjo podatkovnega skladišča je bila velika distribucija podatkov in potreba po centraliziranem spremljanju informacij. Z izgradnjo podatkovnega skladišča je bila pripravljena osnova za izdelavo avtomatiziranega in subjektivno neodvisnega poročevalskega sistema. Orodje Business Objects pa idealno, ker omogoča izdelavo grafično bogatih in vnaprej preračunanih poročil, hkrati pa tudi zelo primerno za izkopavanje in preiskovanje podatkov v podatkovnem skladišču.
