Roland Bouman

Roland will talk about Open Source Datawarehousing and Business Intelligence.

Business Intelligence are all activities that contribute to converting
raw data from various sources and systems into meaningful information
which can be used to measure, manage or predict the performance of a
business organization. Data warehousing is practical solution for
storing and retrieving data that is used to drive Business
Intelligence.

A few years ago, Business Intelligence software was very
expensive and therefore, only accessible to large enterprises.
Recently, the Business intelligence software market has been severely
disrupted by a number of open source products and companies, such as
Pentaho, JasperSoft and SpagoBI. Combined with the success of a number
of open source database products, data warehousing and business
intelligence are more and more becoming a commodity that can
successfully be used even by smaller businesses.

In this talk, you will get a taste for what Business Intelligence and
Datawarehousing are, and you will be introduced to a number of open
source solutions that help you implement it.
