Claudia Imhoff On BI Technology Standards
May 5th, 2004 by Mark Rittman
"JOLAP, XML/A, JDBC, OLE- DB, ODBC, MDAPI, DCOM, CORBA, J2EE, and
even dear old MOM is in there somewhere. It sounds like alphabet soup or the
refrain of "Old McDonald Had a Farm" (E-I-E-I-O…) in terms of the
jumble of acronyms that represent the plethora of standards our industry
creates. Standards are a good thing. They make life easier for vendors
developing products and for those deploying these products in their
environments. They have had a dramatic impact on business intelligence (BI) and
its availability and affordability for companies desiring significant
decision-making advantages." writes
Claudia Imhoff for DMReview.
