Welcome Subscribers!

Are you a baby boomer or the child of a baby boomer? If so, you are well aware of the impact of this group on almost every aspect of life in the United States. The mainstream media coverage of this topic has been extensive, regularly analyzing the challenges our country will face over the course of the next 25 years. What role does business intelligence play as our country seeks to address these challenges?

Last December, Dr. Ramon Barquin was an official delegate to the White House Conference on Aging. His article in this week's newsletter, Business Intelligence and the Aging, cites some sobering statistics and raises our awareness of the social and economic changes that accompany the aging of our population.

In the second article, DW 2.0 and Enterprise Metadata, I explain the three major components of the metadata infrastructure in DW 2.0, the architecture for the next generation of data warehousing.

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.
