This is primarily because older systems present huge volumes of data but do not present it as meaningful information. Several problems exist. First, the standard reports generated by these legacy systems are rarely what management or operations personnel need. Custom reports are difficult to create because the database typically is not structured for easy data extraction and manipulation .therefore creating custom reports with these systems is expensive and time一consuming. Ad hoc reports are simply not affordable or practical. Second, since reports are created from the available data, a dedicated, single一focus application can only report on what it knows. Combining data from multiple system databases to create a composite report adds even more to the cost of building useful reports. Finally, these reports are typically made from scheduled consolidation of data as it is extracted and delivered on paper. Inquiries by management (order status, business volume) are simply not available unless a defined report is written, scheduled and printed. In a Glass Warehouse with a modern unified database, information is available continually from multiple viewpoints. Data warehousing and data mining services are routine products of a modern relational database. Variable sets of information can be extracted from both historical records and from current operations data to build flexible what if views of activity in the warehouse. A modern WMS should provide access to current order status, customer information, product availability, inventory levels and other dynamic information via the web and a voice response system (via telephone).Outbound information to report on defined events such a shipment notifications, shortages of inventory, and exception alerts via e一mail, pager, connected PDA and text messaging should be fully supported. Within the enterprise, managers and operators should be able to query systems from workstations, wireless devices and even voice access. The value of real time information is higher than the one provided by older, batch methods of reporting. What is happening at any time is available to anyone who needs to know, all the time.
