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.
