Welcome to the latest edition of the Business Intelligence Network UK newsletter!
In this issue of our newsletter, two of our industry channel leaders provide excellent articles. In Were You Looking Forward to 2007?, John Hobson shares what retailers can do to illuminate the road ahead and, in the process, add value to their business intelligence investments. Richard Brayshaw, our insurance industry channel leader, provides a great article – What Happens Next? – that reminds us that there is a lot of work to be done after the implementation of a business intelligence solution.
I encourage you to use the Business Intelligence Network as your premier source for business intelligence, performance management, information quality and data warehousing information. Please invite your peers to visit the site frequently and subscribe to our newsletter.
