Greetings!
The amount of information, and a manager's ability to use it, has increased explosively, not only for internal processes but also for the engagement of customers. The more a company knows about their customers, the better able it is to create offerings customers want, to target them with messages, and to extract the value that an offering gives them. Enterprise Data Warehouse tools and processes enable this kind of customer engagement and knowledge.
For 18 years, Software Consortium has been a leader in the Baltimore-Washington area, known for sharing practical and emerging strategies about technology and business, through our seminars, successful delivery of client projects, and now, with InSIGHT delivered to your desktop.
All the best,
Janet

Enterprise Data Warehouse Value for Business;
EDW Platform Vendor Ratings
Gartner predicts that because of lack of information, processes, and tools, more than 35% of the top 5,000 global companies will regularly fail to make insightful decisions about significant changes in their business and markets, through 2012.
Information technology professionals must "bet the business" in their Enterprise Data Warehouse decisions, which can cost millions of dollars in software, hardware and services, and support mission-critical applications.
In today's economy, EDW, BI, and other IT budgets are under severe constraints, which reduce the viable options and raise stakes around decisions to commit to one EDW solution, service or vendor.
Forrester Research conducted an evaluation of leading enterprise data warehousing platform vendors and published its results to members. The report, "The Forrester Wave: Enterprise Data Warehousing Platforms, Q1 2009", helps IT professionals decode the strengths and weaknesses of the leading EDW platform vendors, across 54 criteria, for better decision-making.
