Welcome to the Jill Dyché Special Edition of the Bill Inmon Newsletter.
It is once again my privilege to feature our Jill Dyché Special Edition of the Bill Inmon Newsletter. As you know, Jill is a recognized customer data integration expert. In addition to my article that discusses correlations in data patterns, this Special Edition also features an article from Jill and Evan Levy. Their article provides sound advice for master data management and customer data integration projects.
A new white paper has been posted on the Network, and it is from one of the attendees at my seminar in Amsterdam last November. Liesbeth Smits has provided a paper entitled, Function Point Analysis Applied at Data Warehousing. I am sure you will find her paper to be very comprehensive and informative. Thank you, Liesbeth, for sharing your work with the Business Intelligence Network audience.
On behalf of the Business Intelligence Network, I encourage you to use the Jill Dyché Special Edition of the Bill Inmon Newsletter as your regular source of information about customer data integration and customer data management. Also, please continue to use the Business Intelligence Network as your premier source for information pertaining to business intelligence, performance management, data warehousing and information quality.
To your continued success,
