The aim of this work is to exploratory outline current approaches for acquiring and integrating external data into DW and to give a brief overview of the future trends for external data integration. This aim was researched using an interview study. The results show that how to integrate external data is depending on what the corporations purpose with the external data is. Additional results show that how to integrate external data also depends on how the data is acquired.</p>
