No, I'm a BI architect (thus the SQL statement in my sig).

And yes, that is what I was talking about Clay. If I was a draft pundit, was good at it and could get a job in a scouting department; then I would consider that job. Not everyone gets to say they got a SB ring (in whatever capacity).

So...you are a BI-guy? Good to know. I'd hate to get into any thorny situations with you

Ummmm no! Those guys didn't know jack.

Business Intelligence is about presenting large volumes of data in a usable format. You draw your own conclusions from it.

I have been out of the business world for a while. Never ran across the term Business Intelligence. EE is the closest I could relate it to.

The problem was the EEs didn't understand the business itself. They wanted to apply a single strategy to all businesses.

So executive management started asking, how can you supply me the data where I can make sense of it.

And then Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence was born.

So BI did somewhat evolve from EE?
 
Fellas, enough of the sleepy world of data and info. Fascinating as it is, I think people here find it tedious in the extreme. Suffice it to say that hs makes a good living, but BI is not what you call stimulating convo .

Sabermetrics is BI. Worked for the Oakland A's. And now sites like Football Outsiders and Pro Football Focus are using the same BI principles.

And yes L.T. It did somewhat evolve from EE. Just as a way for a business to answer its own questions without relying on an outsider.
