Last week, I attended Forrester Research’s Forum conference in Washington DC. This conference targets a number of IT roles including CIOs, Enterprise Architects, Risk /Security managers, Infrastructure & Operations leaders, and Vendor Sourcing professionals. This is the Enterprise Architecture program’s fifth year. And I have enjoyed all five.

Data is the lifeblood of analytics — the more diverse the better.
In their best-selling book, Big Data: A Revolution That Will Transform How We Live, Work, and Think, Mayer-Schonberger and Cukier describe the synergy that occurs when previously unrelated and disparate data is brought together to uncover hidden insights. But these advanced analytics data requirements are a double-edged sword as these more diverse sources complicate data integration and constrain progress.

In my last blog, Data Virtualization Returns to the BBBT, I announced Composite’s fifth presentation to the Boulder BI Brain Trust on January 4, 2013. This blog is a “trip report” covering that visit.

There is a catacomb of tunnels under the streets of downtown Houston TX, linking an underworld of passage-ways and doors and secured entrances and stairs and escalators and shops to the above-ground and its buildings, parking garages, and hotels. The first time I went to visit Anestacio Rios, there was a big storm brewing outside. So, when I inquired with hotel staff about directions to Anestacio’s building, they told me, “Just take the tunnels. It’s easy, and you’ll stay dry!”
Well, I did stay dry, but the route wasn’t easy!

Each year, I am responsible for leading the premier event in data virtualization, Data Virtualization Day. It’s a huge responsibility and even bigger endeavor. But the rewards are amazing, especially when the event is as successful as Data Virtualization Day 2012.
