Welcome Subscribers!

In the past, the performance and accountability of government agencies has been difficult to measure. In Business Intelligence and the Government Performance and Results Act by Bonnie Cosby, she explains why agencies must develop a goal and results-oriented approach to meet the requirements of this act. She then discusses how business intelligence can assist agencies in capturing metrics and reporting results.

On a lighter note, you may think that your medicine cabinet and storage are an unlikely combination, but when you read Storage and the Cluttered Medicine Cabinet, you'll discover why I chose this analogy for a discussion about the various forms of storage.

I encourage you to use the Business Intelligence Network as your premier source for information pertaining to business intelligence, performance management, data warehousing and information quality.
