New Technologies and Architectures for Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence 2012

The world of business intelligence (BI) and data warehousing keeps evolving. Technologies such as analytical database servers, mashups, SaaS BI, federation servers, advanced analytics, and SOA, have become available and offer new possibilities to organisations. In addition, the user requirements for business intelligence have also been changing: some need operational BI, others are looking at self-service BI, the third group has a need for more advanced analytical capabilities, and the fourth group wants to integrate everything within their spreadsheets. In short, the world of data warehousing is changing. This two-day seminar focuses on all these new developments, insights, ideas, and technologies. It is a must for every data warehouse specialist.
