DCI's April Business Intelligence Conference

Picture it -- San Diego, 70+ degree days, balmy nights, and some of the best BI discussions around. That was DCI's Business Intelligence conference this week. I was fortunate to be invited to speak and also came away with a few gems.

The conference was a three day event starting on Tuesday and covered a wide array of BI topics for the newbie team member as well as the experienced practitioner. There was even a light-hearted keynote by a plane jumper (parachute and all...). Jonathan Wu of Knightsbridge (feel better, Jonathan) and Barbara Gavin of DCI put together a solid line up including Bill Inmon, who spoke on the need for and difficulties with unstructured data, Colin White, speaking about the need to understand right time as opposed to real time data needs, and many others.

My own talk was in the last time slot on Thursday - clean up batter! I figured the audience would be cooked by then but they rallied around and we had a great discussion on the need to incorporate BI applications into the overall workflow of the business. Thanks to all of you that hung in there with me.

Hopefully I will see you at the next conference.

Yours in BI success!

Claudia

Hello and How are You!

Claudia, O Claudia. Please contact me. I am now all about DataMining and Pure and effective Data Drilling. Please call me for a most refreshing discussion about how one can do it right--the very first time! (Natural SELECTION)

Specifically, I am developing algorithms to be incorporated in pure SELECT Statements to be use in Predictively Drilling for "BOIL" (BI Oil).


There's more. But first contact me as soon as you can. I speak Thursday and want your input, comment and criticsm.

Question: Is there a magical SELECT...statement or series of same that is logically, physically, semantically and politically correct to effect Predictive DataMining/Drilling results in say an IBM UDB environment. What do you or Bill Inmon feel such a useful SQL-based device would look like as a SQL SELECT statement?

And how about SELECTing UNSTRUCTURED and WICKED stuff in the universe of metadata/ DSS dilemmas.
I hope I am just as unclear as ever. I like it that way and I hope you can find a similar to freely associate about these things. As I do.

Take care and let us communicate!

Congenerically,
