BI Roadmap

Attendees from the corporate world and higher education alike got their data-warehousing and decision-making bearings this past May during an intensive week of seminars in San Francisco designed to arm them with both theory and practical experience in data warehousing and business intelligence. A co-author of Data Strategy (Addison-Wesley, 2005), seminar leader Larissa Moss talked to Campus Technology about TDWI’s unique, high-touch approach to seminar content development. “The Data Warehousing Institute not only researches the topics,” she said, “they also have practitioners who are working with clients [to test theories and turn them into best practices]— the same practitioners who teach the seminars at TDWI.”

Practice makes a modeler

Small groups tackled case studies in the Data Modeling in Practice sessions, working together to build all the data modeling deliverables—a practical approach to learning under real-life-like constraints of limited time and resources. This group of students built a fact-qualifier matrix under the guidance of instructor Steve Hoberman, author of Data Modeler’s Workbench (John Wiley & Sons, 2001).
