I am delighted about the opportunity to present at the Rhode Island Business Intelligence User Group on March 20, 2013.
I have not been to Bryant University in a long time. It will be great to see what is new since I last visited.
I will be posting an updated version of the presentation with TSQL code before the end of the week.
Topic:
Effective Data Warehouse Storage Patterns
Abstract:
Many companies start off with a simple data mart for reporting. As the company grows, users become dependent on the data mart for monitoring and making decisions on Key Performance Indicators (KPI).
Unexpected information growth in your data mart may lead to a performance impacted reporting system. In short, your users will be lining up at your cube for their daily reports.
How do you reduce the size of your data mart and speed up data retrieval?
This presentation will review the following techniques to fix your woes.
