Features of a desired system environment

Wow, these features are really cool, they are taken from the Data Warehousing book that I'm reading that I wrote in a previous post, so here they are:

1. Database designed for analytical tasks
2. Data from multiple applications
3. Easy to use and conductive to long interactive session by users 
4. Read-intensive data usage
5. Direct interaction with the system by the users without IT assistance
6. Content updated periodically and stable
7. Content to include current and historical data
8. Ability for users to run queries and get results online
9. Ability for users to initiate reports

So guys never forget those one, in IT environment these kind of features are so helpful.
