Steve Dine

If you're looking for a change from analysts, thought leaders and industry gurus, you've come to the right place. Don't get me wrong, many of these aforementioned are my colleagues and friends that provide highly intelligent insight into our industry. However, there is nothing like a view from the trenches. I often find that there is what I like to call the "conference hangover." It is the headache that is incurred after trying to implement the "best" practices preached to your boss at a recent conference. It is the gap between how business intelligence (BI) projects, programs, architectures and toolsets should be in an ideal world versus the realities on the ground. It's that space between relational and dimensional or ETL and ELT. This blog is dedicated to sharing experiences, insights and ideas from inside BI projects and programs of what works, what doesn't and what could be done better. I welcome your feedback of what you observe and experience as well as topics that you would like to see covered. If you have a specific question, please email me at sdine@datasourceconsulting.com.
