5. HEDW Conference Conference Take Aways . . .
From BI Executive Sponsor Perspective
BI Team – Built on Critical Relationships
Forward Thinking
Hiring a Consultant/Learning from and with other OBIEE Institutions
Consistent Messages from Peers
Dimensional Data Models – ‘Heart of Activity’
Ideal to build dimensional models in warehouse, connect to physical layer
Takes specialists to create dimensional models – centralize that skill
Once Dimensional Model populated many can use
Plan to built it twice . . .
Notion that can’t change could be enemy
Don’t have just one chance; consultants buys time but need to get people up to speed
Build a ‘central’ BI Team
BI Publisher Problematic
Doesn’t work well with complex SQL
Doesn’t deal well with local joins
