SQL Server Not Best Ingredient In IBM i BI Pie
February 18, 2013 Dan Burger
What does business intelligence and analytics mean to you? There are many answers to that single question, but information delivery is often the common denominator. Most people who think of BI think of dashboards. The capability to produce Web-based reports is likely to be the guiding light for most BI projects in the majority of IBM midrange shops where the dissemination of useful data, primarily residing in the DB2 for i database, is both inefficient and inconvenient. How do you fix that? It is not with a green-screen query tool designed for last century’s business objectives, that is for sure. |
