Expanding BI Horizons through Round-Table-Discussion in GDC

Business analytic is hot in the trends (more people should know about the term of business intelligence or enterprise performance management)!  GDC has a BI CoE(Center of Expertise) which is a group of engineers working and researching dedicatedly in the area of data discovery, data warehousing and data visualization etc. Every year we get new hires and graduates from campus to join this group therefore it’s mandatory to conduct formal training lessons and knowledge sharing sessions to newbie so as to help them know more about technical implementation and advanced analytic. I admit that it is actually a big world for various BI technology and products from different vendors. Sometimes, it may make the newbie confused on where to get started and I believe many folks have experienced that.

Let’s Get Started

By leveraging our senior consultant experience and expertise in BI area, we launched the round table discussion for 2012. The objective of this kind of open discussion is to provide opportunities for both junior and senior people to expand their knowledge base, have brain-storming, as well as exchang opinions.  The ground rules for this kind of technical salons are as followed:

• Anyone can pick a relevant topic and host the discussion despite of his/her title;
• The pre-work should be defined and done by attendees before join discussion;
• It’s better to nominate an owner of next round discussion in the end of this round of meeting;

In fact, the topics that we covered are broad – Gartner summit review, BI mobility, In-memory analytics, SQL server 2012, Informatica, Non-SQL (Hadoop) and others. Many of these technologies and products are emerging in recent years and we believe they will become main-stream in the near future.  The first discussion about Gartner summit London review has been conducted by our colleagues and the form of activity is recognized by the participants whatever he is a new member or veteran.

As planned, in 2012 we will continue to pilot this open discussion program and hope most of our group members would gain maximum benefit from it.
