Palin for president! Not.

Goodbye house

This economic crisis is already starting to have real impacts on people’s lives in the United States – regular people are paying with their jobs, or even worse, their house. I saw this interesting video about people in California. Quite depressing stuff actually.

Does the DWH hunt continue?

Apparently there is some speculation going on that SAP may be going after a data warehousing vendor like Netezza or Teradata.

American elections are starting to heat up

It looks as if the elections are starting to heat up. At least according to the articles I have been reading:

• A nice little article about Palin
• And another one about McCain

Smurfs wars

Nice little sketches of smurfs together with a synopsys.

• About

  In 1999, although trained as an economist and marketeer, I started working with an application called Crystal Reports (I don't even remember the version). I realised then that what I wanted to be was a, even though I don't think the term was already coined back then, Business Intelligence specialist.

  Over the years my training and experience has amassed and expanded into various fields of expertise and technologies. I am currently working as a BI consultant and trainer for IIPS with a focus on SAP Business Objects, IBM Cognos and Microsoft SQL Server technology.

  I am particularly interested in the technical aspects of Business Intelligence, i.e. how to implement and deliver a well performing BI solution, and not so much how to get it right from a business perspective.

  This is a personal weblog, and the opinions expressed here are not those of my employer.
