Abstract
The University of Missouri, Rolla is in its eleventh year of maintaining a local data warehouse in a relational database. That foundation put UMR in a position to make the transition from a traditional legacy structure to a distributive environment for presenting information to the campus community. In 1996 UMR embarked on a project of delivering an entire admissions system through the World Wide Web. This paper provides background on the data warehouse that made that endeavor possible. This paper presents the thoughts, arguments, and difficulties encountered during the development of this project.
