Hi,
This is Michael Bowen. I've put together cubegeek.com as a new and
hopefully exciting site for the BI professional to network, share get
information. This is the industry's first portal built from the ground
up to support cross-vendor applications. I'd like you to join us.
We are at a turning point in our industry. The demands are greater
than ever. The BI professional needs to know more about n-tier
environments, UNIX security, ERP integration and products from
multiple vendors. Just mastering one technology is not sufficient in
today's environment. Cubegeek.com is designed to gather professionals
of different disciplines in the BI space.
Whether you concentrate on front-end design, Java application servers,
RDBMS, ETL, OLAP, project managenment, security or sales, you will
find something useful at Cubegeek.com.
I've been waiting to put this site together for a long time. Almost
two years in fact. The idea first occured to me when I was working for
Dan Druker at Hyperion's new eCRM division. Products and ideas were
coming around so quickly and there were so many people to communicate
things to, there was no way to keep on top of all the information.
The main thrust of Cubegeek is to provide a forum for more than just
technical stuff, but industry happenings and cross-vendor information.
I want it to be a comprehensive site where people can share war
stories but also download metadata, talk about best practices and have
a bit more selection and options than with simple USENET groups or
mailing lists. You can post news stories, contribute to the downloads
section, get and send private messages and participate in polls. Now
we as professionals in this complex and fascinating industry have our
place to speak out in a congenial atmosphere which is not controlled
by anybody selling products. The potential is great.
It will take some time for this site to grow to critical mass, but as
long as I am in the industry, I will contribute. But I think you will
find many ways to contribute as well. So welcome and enjoy. This
site's for you.
