Welcome to the latest edition of the Business Intelligence Network UK newsletter!
In this issue of our newsletter, my article, Decisions at Your Service: DBMSs Under Pressure, looks at the consequences of adopting a service-oriented architecture (SOA) infrastructure for event-driven BI and on-demand BI. The other article is authored by John Mehers who explores the practicalities of implementing an event-driven architecture that, in addition to enterprise integration, will also deliver both BAM and business intelligence. His article is the second part of Will Messaging Infrastructures Ultimately Displace Older Information Integration Schemes?
