Topic: Dimensional Modeling: Organizing your Data for Analytics

Software systems are tools, and should be optimized to execute specific jobs. You’d never use a hammer to drill a hole or a level to drive in a nail. Similarly, software tools and data structures are built for specific purposes. One size definitely doesn’t fit all. At the February Business Intelligence roundtable, we will investigate various approaches to organizing data to meet the specific needs of your business. How do we build the right tool for the right job? We will discuss business dimensional modeling, the differences between data warehouses and operational systems, and much more.
