Welcome to the latest edition of the Business Intelligence Network UK newsletter!
In this issue, we are pleased to feature great articles from three of our experts – Malcolm Chisholm, Barry Devlin and Richard Hackathorn. All three articles remind us that the information technology landscape is rapidly and continuously changing and that we need to thoughtfully consider the impact of those changes on our enterprise systems.
Malcolm Chisholm provides a set of principles for information knowledge management. Barry Devlin explores the overall similarities between SOA integration projects and enterprise data warehousing projects, and Richard Hackathorn challenges us to distinguish between the enterprise system and the various components and services that support enterprise computing.
Enjoy these articles and all the other resources from the Business Intelligence Network (www.BeyeNETWORK.co.uk). 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.
Warm regards,
