Hello Azhar I am absolutely very interested in what you have to tell about Informatica. Actually, it is used widely in the Energy Company I work for in Holland, Essent (although not in the team I work with). I hear many different comments about Informatica. It is rumoured…

Commented on The jobstreams makes grouping steps fairly easy, but lookup stability needs to be improved.

My main point is: if used correctly, the Cognos Datamanager can be a very effective tool for ETL, and in the end BI My opinion is that BI and ETL cannot be seperated that easily. If data are not presented in a way the end user (or business, or any other relevant actor) can…

About me

I can offer a lot of experience in the use of data and databases for decisionmaking. For me the challenge is to make the best and most effective use of data for all kinds of decisionmaking (policy, strategic, operational).

Experience:
datawarehouses, ETL, and business intelligence on large databases (up to 200 mln records)
statistics, monitoring and analysis of neighbourhoods (especially poorer ones)
statistics, monitoring and analyses of youth delinquency (especially ethnic backgrounds and chances for recidivism)
statistics and monitoring of dutch primary education (especialy school results and black and white schools)
