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 looks at physically separating semantically static and semantically temporal data at the point of database design, this Special Edition also features an article from Jill's colleague Linda McHugh on the topic of business and IT alignment.

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.
