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 explains why there is a need for exploration warehouses, this Special Edition also features an article from Jill on customer data integration. Her article also includes a case study of how ING Insurance implemented an enterprise information platform as a foundation for their integrated customer data.

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.
