SIG Meeting October 19

Lessons from the Trenches: Decision Support/EDW at Bell Canada

Curious to know the real risks are when your business can't wait for a fully architected set of Data Marts/EDW? Nervous about the scalability of your Decision Support environment? Want to minimize your risk from the "dreamland" of vendor benchmark performance promises? Can you take the terror out of Terabyte loading? Did you know that "clean" data may still burn you? That browser-based clients have expensive hidden costs?

October 19th is your chance to learn from the lessons of one of Canada's largest Enterprises when these issues and many more are covered at the next session of IRMAC's Data Warehouse Special Interest Group.
