    Data warehouses and data warehousing appliances once again took center stage last week as IBM relaunched its line of DW quasi-appliances and Business Objects partnered with both Big Blue and appliance stalwart Netezza to promote turnkey BI and DW bundles. As if that wasn't enough, IBM announced its own next-gen data warehousing vision. [more]

    Battleships may not move swiftly, but when they find their targets, big things happen.

Between the Balanced Warehouse and Dynamic Warehousing, Big Blue now has the makings of a thorough BI market strategy. [more]

  • TDWI Webinar: The Growing Practice of ETL

    TDWI Research shows that data integration usage-especially in the form of ETL-is growing overall, but growing fastest outside of data warehousing. Non-warehouse ETL is now approximately 25 percent of all ETL usage, up from less than 20 percent in 2004. This is because ETL tools and techniques are increasingly applied to non-data-warehouse projects within and beyond the enterprise, like database and application consolidations, migrations, upgrades, synchronizations, and B2B data exchange. Register for this TDWI Webinar to learn more. [more]

Check out this white paper to learn about the ways in which governance can be applied to achieve alignment and mitigate the risks commonly associated with BI programs. [more]
