I’m presenting Master Data Management with SQL Server 2016 MDS at the Atlanta Microsoft Business Intelligence Group on Monday, January 30th. Pizza and networking starts at 6:30 and the presentation should start about 7:00. Here is the address:

115 Perimeter Center Place

Here is the abstract:

Organizations that invest in master data management and improving the quality of their informational assets will be best positioned to reap the huge data dividend! Join this presentation to learn how you can manage your master data and reference data with SQL Server Master Data Services (MDS). Learn about the new MDS features in SQL Server 2016.

Atlanta Microsoft BI January 2015 meeting notes

February 3, 2015 by neal Leave a Comment

Slow start to the meeting for attendance, but it looks like this was due to a lot of traffic around the mall. Good turnout after a slow start – I counted 52. This month’s sponsor is Nebula Partners. Thanks for sponsoring the meeting and the food!

This month we have Javier Guillén from BlueGranite. Javier is presenting “The Emotional factor in BI Solutions” which should be an interesting topic that is often overlooked. Javier has a background in psychology and applied some of those principles to his projects. Someone asked how to apply some of these while working remote. Javier replied that is why he meets in person frequently. Great presentation and nice discussion afterwards. Check this presentation out if you have a chance.

Before the meeting, there was some discussion about volunteering with the group and some roles. More importantly, some discussion about moving from pizza every meeting and giving something else a try. Lots of factors here to consider:

  • Cost. This is big since we do have a limit
  • Ease of preparation. Pizza is very easy to set up and break down.
  • How “messy” the food is. In terms of spills and drops, pizza is pretty solid.
  • Something everyone will want to eat

Any ideas? if so, I’d like to hear them. It’s turned out to be a little more complicated than just switching to something else.
