4 reminders about legacy modernization
Legacy systems remain critical to many (most) organizations and so legacy modernization is still a hot topic (which is why we have a webinar on legacy modernization coming up with our partner TechBlue).

Live Event: TDWI Solution Summit on Advanced Analytics
I am co-chair, with Fern Halper,of the TDWI Solution Summit: Beyond BI to Advanced Analytics for Business Advantage in San Diego, June 1-3.
Business analytics has become an important new trend for companies that want to be competitive—and stay that way.

White Paper of the Week: In-Database Analytics
This week’s white paper of the week is a short paper on In-database Analytics
In-database analytics offer a powerful tool for embedding advanced analytics in a critical component of IT infrastructure. As the amount of data involved has grown and as data infrastructure has become more powerful, the adoption of in-database analytic technology has grown rapidly. This white paper sponsored by SAS introduces in-database analytics and explores their role in embedding advanced analytics in Decision Management Systems.
