KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 18, 1997--Lockheed Martin Information Systems & Technologies (IS&T) Tuesday announced the launching of Destination Data Warehouse(TM), an integrated set of events aimed at helping executives in business and technology understand and successfully implement enterprise-level data warehouse solutions.

Destination Data Warehouse combines seminars, special events, and educational offerings on the business and technology issues that are key to enterprise data warehouse initiatives.

Each of the events associated with IS&T's Destination Data Warehouse will help company leaders to better understand -- and put into practice -- cutting-edge methods and techniques that will revolutionize their exploitation of corporate data.

"Data warehousing has evolved beyond rescuing our legacy systems from the scrape heap," explained Dr. Richard Hackathorn, president of Bolder Technology Inc. "It is now the critical instrument panel in the corporate cockpit, and impacts all levels of an organization.

"Destination Data Warehouse presents an outstanding piece of forward thinking by an industry leader on IT issues that are crucial to maintaining a competitive advantage."

"Lockheed Martin's Destination Data Warehouse will bridge the gap between simply good ideas and programs that are truly executable for implementing data warehouse solutions," noted Hugh Bishop, vice president of the Boston-based Aberdeen Group. "It's a must for business and technology leaders who are serious about getting out front and staying there."
