Hello and Welcome

It's January 1st, 2007. The sun is shining in Dublin. It seems like a good day to start this blog!

First of all, let me welcome you all to my channel on BeyeNETWORK. It's a pleasure to be here and have the opportunity to talk to you all -- and most especially to hear your views, too.

This is going to be a short entry, since it's a holiday here in Ireland today, as in the rest of Europe. All the better to get over the hangovers, I guess!

I'd like to focus discussion here around the future of BI and how I see it evolving in the coming years. You can see that's where my interest lies from the contents of my first article and I hope it's something you are all interested in too. My belief is that we are going through quite a sea change in the BI world at present, driven by similar changes in the IT world in general. We have the opportunity now to define how we want to see BI evolve. If we don't participate, we will be swept along by the changes going on in the wider IT world. It would be a shame to be left behind ... so I hope you'll join me on this exciting journey.
