Master data managment (MDM)

I had a session on Windays 2008 regarding Microsofts upcoming product. Session couldnt really be about specifics since the product is not in beta yet, but two things surprised me.

First, number of people that showed up, it was really nice to see that there was significant interest in the session. I was a bit worried about this since the subject is mostly enterprise related and not really all that known to a general public.

Second, responsivness. Number of questions raised and a general flow of the session were really great, since as i said, session didnt really handle the specifics. General info was obviously interesting enough to spark some discussions there.

 For those of you unfamiliar about the subject, or the product, Microsoft bought company Stratature and is now developing an integrated version. Sharepoint seems to be the point where the new application will be available, but details at:

Windays 2008 preconf: Microsoft BI

I had lots of fun during preconf session, but it wasn't easy.

Format isnt really something I find easy to do, one day event talking about Microsoft BI offering. I did a 3 days, 2 days and 45 minutes sessions, but 1 day? I've found it hard to say enough but not too much.

Fortunatelly, attendees were very cool and responsive so it came down to discussions and experience sharing for the significant part of the day. I hope people found it usefull, we went from basics (definitions) to new cool stuff 2008 brings regarding the whole BI stack.

Windays 2008

Ill be in Opatija from 20.4. to 25.4. on Windays 2008 (http://www.microsoft.com/croatia/windays/default.mspx). I will be doing a preconf day (BI) and two sessions on wednesday (data warehousing and master data managment). If you are near or attending feel free to say hi.

You can also find me at the AtE part of the conference if you have any questions.

I would highly recommend going on PnP sessions on friday. Those are community based sessions and almost always one of the best you can see there.
