05/01/08 – THE DATA ADMINISTRATION NEWSLETTER, LLC – http://www.TDAN.com

Dear TDAN.com Readers,

The new issue (May 2008) of The Data Administration Newsletter (TDAN.com) is now available on-line at http://www.TDAN.com. Check out what is included in the new issue and please let me know if you are interested in publishing an article in a future issue. MORE CONTENT MORE OFTEN means more opportunity for you to get your articles published in this popular e-publication for Data Management Professionals.

The May issue contains several new articles including Tom Jesionowski (Prime Business Decision Loop), Noreen Kendle (Getting and Keeping Your Data Right), Alex Friedgan (Metadata Improvements) and Steve Putman (Tuning for DSS). Two feature columns were added – John Schley from DAMA contributed the DAMA Corner (San Diego conference recap) and a brand new quarterly column from Adrian Miley titled Architecture is Objective, Design is Subjective. Also, two special features were added including an interview I held with the author of “fruITion”, a novel about building an IT strategy, and a description (from me) of “Non-Invasive Data Governance”™.

Links to new articles on the Business Intelligence Network have been added as well: Bill Inmon (Data Stewardship and Pain), Colin White (Is Data Warehousing Essential to Business Intelligence?) and Jill Dyché (Your Business Intelligence Program).

CALL FOR FEATURE COLUMNS: Please let me know if you are interested in publishing a quarterly feature columns on the pages of TDAN.com. All ideas will be strongly considered. I am looking columnists interested in contributing a new column for every three months (Feb/May/Aug/Nov or Mar/Jun/Sep/Dec). Feature columns are a very popular piece of TDAN.com content.

The rest of the publication continues to be updated regularly including new book reviews, an updated list of data-oriented conferences through 2008, updates to the book list of several top books published in late ’07 and in ’08, business resource list, companies and products list and more. The quote of the week (Einstein this week) and 5 data oriented news stories (TDANews) continue to be updated weekly.

I am always interested in your feedback regarding the new issue and the (not so) new look of TDAN.com. Please feel free to contact me with suggestions and comments. A form has been set up through the Contact tab to submit these comments. Thanks.
