    What do they mean "The data may differ per mart". If they're saying they will have different data marts reporting different values for the same metric it means they're being slack about conforming the data. Commented Jul 2, 2012 at 18:30
  • Will all these be hosted on your servers, or will a data mart be delivered to a customer for use on a customer's server? Commented Jul 26, 2012 at 1:01
  • @ConcernedOfTunbridgeWells - I talked with the architect and discovered that they are designing a set of dimensions and fact tables and these can be combined into specific marts. So we might have an "auto insurance mart" and two customers may each have a copy of that schema (dimensions and fact) but differing data based on their needs. Commented Jul 26, 2012 at 12:44
  • @Catcall - right now these will be hosted on our servers. Where I work we have not "charged back" the business for any IT services. Our department has taken on the cost in our own budget. That being said, things are changing here culturally and I could see department/customer servers with their own marts that we could "charge back" to them in the near future. But for now, all the marts are on our own servers. Commented Jul 26, 2012 at 12:46
