Our February speaker had to cancel but David Stein has agreed to come present for our group even though he is already booked for the very next night up in Irving!  Kudos David!  We thank you! 

 

Topic:  Data Warehouse Mistakes You Can’t Afford to Make

Many data professionals understand the basics of Data Warehouse design, including Dimension and Fact Tables, slowly changing Dimensions, and the use of meaningless surrogate keys. However, it isn't until you've created a dimensional model and put it into production, that you realize just how much of an impact seemingly trivial mistakes can make. They can hobble performance, allow inaccuracy, and perhaps worst of all, inhibit adoption and usage of the new system. 
 
Learn how to avoid many common mistakes, from someone who’s made them and then found ways to correct them.
