IAP - an interesting week so far

Good morning from sunny Phoenix, Arizona. The first independent analyst platform conference is well into day 3. Rick Van Der Lans the organizer has done an incredible job of getting 25 of the world's independent analysts and thought leaders and 18 plus vendors executives together for a series of presentations and discussions. Great atmosphere and discussions inspite of 114 plus degrees outside.

We have has topics from Operational BI to Appliances to Mashups and SOA discussed in this time frame. My fellow analysts are also blogging on their blogs about the sessions. Overall what I have found interesting is the top discussions

1. SOA
2. Mashups
3. Metadata
4. Operational BI
5. Appliances.

As I write this blog, HP is discussing Neoview and this is real cool discussion because for the first time in the 3 days, I have someone talking about INFRASTRUCTURE and nuts and bolts in the architecture like load optimization and scalability. My next article that will be published will focussed on "Workload Optimization" and why it matters to the data warehouse architectures.

With the many DBMS product offerings in a massively growing BI market, hearing what the independent analysts are saying could be an invaluable resource for someone who is looking to implement new technology. There is even a limited amount of OSS DBMS that have introduced products that appear to be very promising, and are slowly gaining customers. Were there any discussions to the growth of OSS in the area of DBMS for business intelligence?
