Rittman Mead - Delivered Intelligence

Well, that’s Day 1 of Collaborate’08 over and I think I’ve just about got over the jet lag. I’m up early again - today it’s 6am - but at least I’m not suffering from altitude sickness like a couple of people I bumped in to. We’re actually a mile above sea-level in Denver which means […]

Whilst I […]

This event was the first that Rittman […]

I’ve just finished up delivering my session for the Red Database Symposium today, my topic was Analytics and Data Warehousing using Oracle 11g and OBIEE. The first session at least was fairly hard work for me as this was all-new material, I went through the role of the Oracle 11g database in Oracle’s new BI […]

Some of you might be aware that apart from chairing the UKOUG Business Intelligence & Reporting Tools SIG, I also co-chair (with Kent Graziano) the Oracle Developer Tools User Group (ODTUG) BI & Data Warehousing SIG, which meets every few months at events such as ODTUG Kaleidoscope, Oracle Open World and so on.
One thing Kent, […]
