Data marts for business users

So we are done with Creating and Filling Data warehouse. Now, lets create Data mart for specific group of users. If you do not know what Data Mart is the refer http://searchsqlserver.techtarget.com/definition/data-mart.
If you need to know more, read this http://www.kimballgroup.com/1999/12/the-matrix/

Basically, Data mart is the way to give access to relevant data to only specific data in the database. For example, if I am a Human resource manager, I would only be interested in knowing things about the employees, sales person, payroll and I would be least interested in the sales and products data.
Same is true for data mart for CXO's.

I would also encourage you to read http://www.datamartist.com/data-warehouse-vs-data-mart . This is a beautiful article describing different approach towards building Datamart and Data Warehouse.
