Welcome Business Intelligence Newsletter Subscribers
We are continually expanding the content and coverage areas of the Business Intelligence Network, and today we are launching our Transportation Channel. It gives me great pleasure to introduce Keith Boyer as the domain leader for this channel. Keith is the Chief Operating Officer of Data Management Group, a consulting firm that focuses on business intelligence and custom-designed Web-based systems.
To mark the launch of this channel, Keith has provided a great article covering a major data management transformation that is occurring in the transportation sector. In the first article of this newsletter, The Evolution of Transportation, Keith explains this transformation and the positive impact it will have on mass-transit passengers.
In the second article, Operational Business Intelligence at a Fast Food Chain, Dave Stark explains how a nationwide pizza chain implemented operational business intelligence and explains the role of key performance indicators, OLAP and data warehousing in that implementation.
Please continue to use the Business Intelligence Network as your premier source for information regarding business intelligence, performance management, information quality and data warehousing.
Warm regards,
In This Issue
