Recognized for Innovation and Business Impact
Seattle, WA MAY 17,
2002- The Data
Warehousing Institute (TDWI), the premier provider of in-depth, high quality
education and training in the data warehousing and business intelligence
industry, announces the winners of its 2002 Best Practices in Data Warehousing
Awards competition. This competition provides thousands of practitioners with
best practices they can follow as data warehousing and business intelligence
continues to grow and expand.
Nominations were judged by a panel of experts, including:
practitioners, consultants, industry analysts, journalists, Journal of Data
Warehousing editors, Institute Fellows, and TDWI management. The winners clearly
demonstrated that their data warehouse and business intelligence projects were
truly innovative solutions to problems commonly faced by data warehousing
practitioners and were practices that could be followed by others. The judges
examined six key criteria to determine the winners in each category:
-
Impact. What is the value of the data warehouse or application to
the business and end-users?
-
Relevance. Does
the data warehouse or business intelligence application demonstrate a best
practice that other companies can adopt?
-
Innovation. How
innovative are the strategies, technologies, architectures, or processes used
to design and implement the data warehouse or business intelligence
environment?
-
Alignment. How
closely aligned are business and IT processes? How well does the data
warehouse adapt to changing business requirements and deliver long-term
sustainable value?
-
Maturity. What
is the scale, scope, and sophistication of the solution? How much has the
solution evolved since it was first deployed?
-
Bang for the Buck. How
efficient is the design and delivery given the business, technical, and
organizational constraints within which the project is operating?
