a plan with specifics on how they will take their environment to the next level with the implementation of a 

data warehouse and data mining infrastructure.

4. Create a diagram using Visio, Microsoft Paint, or other graphical creation utility of your choosing 

to illustrate the conceptual data feeds into and out of the data warehouse. Note: The graphically
