The Fundamental Quality Principles Applied to Total Information Quality Management Larry P. English, President, INFORMATION IMPACT International Quality Management is predicated on the theory of a common core set of Principles, Processes, with Techniques applied to improve Quality of manufactured products or delivered services. These Principles, Processes and Techniques apply to Information Quality Management with only slight variations. World-class organizations apply the same quality principles, such as Deming's Fourteen Points, Kaizen, Quality Function Deployment (QFD), the Baldrige Criteria and Six Sigma for Business Performance Excellence to Information. This presentation addresses how these principles and techniques apply directly to information as a product and knowledge workers and information producers as "information consumers." In this tutorial Mr. English describes the fundamental principles of Quality Management and how they apply to Total Information Quality Management. He describes how an organization can improve the quality and value of its information resources. He describes metrics for measuring information quality and the management principles for implementing an effective information quality environment. Mr. English describes how organizations have successfully implemented information quality processes to improve the effectiveness of their business and information system processes.

The True Cost of Ownership of Business Intelligence and Data Warehouse - The Myth of the Efficient Business User John Ladley, Principal, IMCue Solutions Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) is often measured by looking at infrastructure and data movement costs, as well as throwing in some license costs. But this is the wrong view of TCO. We have reached a point where most business leaders would find it unimaginable to lose their departmental spread sheets and Access data bases. Yet enterprise data management often calls for just that approach. The fact is TCO must include the time and money being spent at the business user's desk top - excel spread sheets, access data bases, and other forms of "shadow IT." Most of the time this number is far larger than anyone within an organization can imagine. This tutorial will present:

Data Warehouse Appliances - Mature or Not so Mature? Mike Ferguson, CEO, Intelligent Business Strategies With the exception of Teradata and mainstream DBMS vendors, the number of analytical database products has exploded over the last 5 years making the choice of technology available to prospective customers significant to say the least . This session takes a detailed look at these databases and asks are they mature or not? How do they stack up against mainstream DBMS providers? Should they replace mainstream offerings used in data warehousing or complement them? Are they suited to specific types of application? The session looks at the different types of offerings available in the market. It also looks at what you need to consider when evaluating these offerings and how to best take advantage of these products to support BI systems in the enterprise. Finally it also looks at how such analytic DBMSs can be integrated into existing information architectures and at real case studies of them in action.

Overview of Business Intelligence Architectures - from Classic to Cloud Rick F. van der Lans, R20/Consulting Different architectures exist for designing Business Intelligence systems. Organizations can go for more classic and well-known architectures, such as Ralph Kimball's Data Warehouse Bus Architecture, Bill Inmon's Corporate Information Factory and Data Warehouse 2.0, the Centralized Data Warehouse Architecture, or the Federated Architecture. But these architectures have been designed a few years ago, and in the mean time the needs and requirements of users have changed. Users are asking for new forms of analytics, such as operational analytics, complex analytics, deep analytics, and self-service analytics. The logical question that arises is whether these classic architectures are suitable for these new demands? Are they flexible enough, can they make operational data available for reporting? In addition, new technology has become available, including data warehouse appliances, analytical database servers, in-memory analytics, mashups, and cloud-based technology. This technology push makes new architectures possible. In this session an overview is given of the classic architectures plus the newer ones, including the Data Delivery Platform and SaaS BI (BIaaS).

Experience and research has shown none of the critical success factors for EIM have anything to do with technology. This half day tutorial will use real case studies to explain how to:
