Data analysts use data warehouses to perform queries and analysis on historical data. The information contained in a data warehouse can include data such as application log files and transaction applications. These tools are useful to analysts because they consolidate large datasets from many sources.

The data analyst serves as a gatekeeper for an organization’s data so stakeholders can understand data and use it to make strategic business decisions.
