Business Intelligence Iceland: Skyrr Fall Conference in Reykjavik

iceland-banner

It was the Skyrr Fall Conference in Reykjavik a couple of weeks ago, and among the long list of sessions, I covered three topics:

  • An evening executive session on “Why BI Projects Fail and What To Do About It”
  • A vendor-neutral BI Trends keynote “Simple, Seamless, Social, and Strategic”
  • An SAP BusinessObjects breakout session “Information to Insight”

If you do ever visit Reykjavik, you MUST visit the blue lagoon. It’s possible to take a taxi from town to the pool, store your luggage, do a proper visit and swim, and take a taxi to the airport in just under two hours. It’s as amazing as it looks (although the pictures don’t convey the occasional whiff of sulphur/rotten eggs)

Finally, just to show that data quality problems are ubiquitous – in real life, data gets manually copied all the time, with the inevitable errors… Remember (for the sake of the children!) to include data quality in your BI project
