Rittman Mead - Delivered Intelligence

We’ve just finalised the agenda for the

January 31st UKOUG Business Intelligence & Reporting Tools SIG and if I say
so myself, I think it’s about the best one we’ve ever put together. We’ve
managed to get Oracle’s Kevin "Mr. OLAP" Lancaster to do two presentations on
OLAP tips and techniques, together with "from the trenches" presentations by
Jeff Moss, Donna Kelly and David Walker - three very experienced independent
consultants - and for the comedy interlude, a presentation by yours truly on XML
Publisher. Here’s the

agenda:

• 09:30 : Registration and Coffee
• 10:00 : Introductions and Welcome - Mark Rittman
• 10:05 :
  5 Years
  with OWB: what works and what doesn t - Donna Kelly, Independent
  Consultant
• 10:50 :
  
  Oracle XML Publisher: what’s it all about? - Mark Rittman, SolStonePlus
• 11:35 :
  
  Enhancing the analytic content of your AW : Behind The Calc Builder -
  Kevin Lancaster, Oracle Corp.
• 12:45 : Lunch
• 13:30 :
  
  Five Tuning Tips For Your Data Warehouse - Jeff Moss, Independent
  Consultant (read Jeff’s blog here…)
• 14:15 : Process Neutral Data Warehouse Modelling : David Walker, Data
  Management Ltd.
• 15:00 : Coffee
• 15:15 :
  
  SQL Access to multidimensional data in Oracle : What it means, and how you
  do it - Kevin Lancaster, Oracle Corp.
• 16:00 : AOB, Close - Mark Rittman

It’s a pretty packed schedule and as I said we’ve got some pretty good
speakers (myself excepted of course). I’m particularly looking forward to Jeff’s
first presentation, as I’m sure is Jonathan Lewis who’ll be in the audience and
is kindly giving us a copy of his new “Cost-Based Oracle” book as a competition
prize If you’re also one of those people who complain that every Oracle OLAP
presentation is just about the basics, you’ll also not want to miss Kevin’s two
talks, who’ll be giving us the benefit of some of the skills he’s picked up on
presales engagements around the EMEA region. Anyway, as usual the places will
probably get booked up fairly quickly so if you’re a UKOUG member and you want
to come along,

register on the UKOUG website and I’ll see you next month.
