Hi Sandip,

I would suggest you  include a topic about Data Warehousing which can introduce the reader to why there is a need for the EIM solution in the first place.

Good luck and don't hesitate  to let us know if you have any specific questions.

Hi Nawfal,

Thank you very much for kind support. I will sure raise my question if I have any.

For right now I am not really sure if I would go for Data Warehousing topic as well I am considering  to replace EIM to ETL. From my point of view EIM is a solution not a technology as well as it has very huge topic. I am really not convinced to include it due to   I am mainly focused for Data Services and Data integration also I have some restrictions to avoid ECM and BW.

I am happy to have any advise and please feel free to give me any critiques if I am getting away from my path.
