Modeling Business Metrics: The Next Horizon for Data Modelers
Open source
software (OSS) has become a force in the commercial software industry. Data
warehousing is not immune to the impact of open source, with developments in the
past year affecting a range of different technologies. IT organizations are
challenged with sorting through OSS to measure the risks, the rewards, and to
decide what is worth implementing.
This session will
review technology adoption theory to frame the discussion, then review the state
of relevant open source projects.
