This year's BI Forum in Brighton is a wrap. Here is a quick account of what wisdom and knowledge was shared by the speakers on the final day. The first slot was by Truls Bergensen on how will of Endeca fit in to the Oracle BI topography. Next it was Nicholas Hurt and Michael Rainey demonstrating how to replace OWB/Streams with ODI/GoldenGate to achieve real-time data warehousing. Then it was cloud time again as Matt Bedin went through a demo of the imminent Oracle BI Cloud. The afternoon saw Gianni Ceresa talking about Essbase within and without OBIEE and TED-style talks by Marco Klaassens and Christian Berg. The final talk of the conference was Alistair Burgess on tuning TimesTen with aggregate persistence. And while everyone is heading home let me thank the good people at Rittman Mead for another truly impressive and well-organized conference. As someone who "grew up" with the Oracle BIEE stack since Siebel Systems acquired nQuire, the broad variety of topics such as Go...

The second day of this year's installation of Rittman Mead's BI Forum in Brighton saw some impressive content and brilliant presentation. These speakers kept the audience engaged. Emiel van Bockel showed how you can achieve sub-second response times for thousands of concurrent users querying against hundreds of millions of rows in just two years and with just one Exalytics box. Oracle's Chris Jenkins took the crowd for a deep dive into TimesTen for Exalytics. Robin Moffatt told us there are no silver bullets but a lot of golden rules when it comes to measuring and optimizing OBIEE Performance in the real world.

This year's BI Forum in Brighton, UK has started with a Big Data masterclass with Lars George from Cloudera titled "Hadoop, HBase, NoSQL and What These Mean for Oracle BI&DW Developers" Lars' knowledge is encyclopedic to say the least. The crowd gasped as he presented the vast array of funny-named tools that have evolved around HDFS and hadoop over the past 10 years. For anyone, including of course BI and DW developers, with a professional interest in crunching data in large volumes or at high speed or both, the hadoop ecosystem provides us with a vast array of tools such as Pig, Flume, Hue, Parquet, Squoop, Impala, HBase or Oozie, just to name a view. All of which (and more) Lars managed to present in uncanny depth and breadth of detail. For those among you with further interest, you might want to peruse the search engine of your choice as well as the virtual machines available from Cloudera or Oracle to get started. Cloudera also provides a live playground en...

It's this time of the year again when the good people at Rittman Mead gather the most prolific BI experts in Brighton and Atlanta . This humble writer also secured a seat at the UK event which starts this Wednesday. Day 1 will be a Masterclass on Hadoop with George Lars and the following two days are filled with BI goodness and expert talks such as TimesTen, Performance Tuning and Cloud Analytics. Apart from the doubtless magnificent content, I am especially looking forward to meet the world's leading BI experts in person. As usual, I will report to you via blog posts and tweet live from the event. have a nice day @lex
