      <title>Crash Course in Business Intelligence Basics</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Search Data Management has a crash course in BI Basics on their website and it looks like it could be a great resource for both new and experienced data management professionals.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;blockquote&gt;   &lt;h3&gt;Business intelligence basics&lt;/h3&gt;    &lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="15" alt="" src="http://media.techtarget.com/searchDataManagement/images/spacer.gif" width="1" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;04 Jun 2008 | Kathryn Marquis, Assistant Editor&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;         &lt;p&gt;Business intelligence (BI) is about more than just technology. Experts say BI also requires a strategy for organizing people and processes -- as well as a clear vision of organizational goals, performance requirements, key performance indicators (KPIs) and more. &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;This &lt;i&gt;business intelligence basics guide&lt;/i&gt; is a resource for professionals involved in all aspects of BI -- from building a business case to writing a request for proposal (RFP) for BI technology to designing executive dashboards. This guide covers BI basics and can be useful in many ways, including getting a quick overview of the discipline and training new employees. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;/blockquote&gt;  &lt;p&gt;It even addresses the Kimball versus Inmon debates.  Check it out.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://searchdatamanagement.techtarget.com/generic/0,295582,sid91_gci1316190,00.html?track=NL-340&amp;ad=651577&amp;asrc=http://www.infoadvisors.comEM_NLN_4056934&amp;uid=4923628"&gt;Business intelligence basics&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="d_itc_f" style="clear:both;height:11px;"&gt;&lt;a class="a_itc" style="float: right;" href="http://www.itcrossing.com/"&gt;&lt;img alt="powered by metaPost" style="border: none ;" src="/DesktopModules/itcMetaPost/images/m.gif"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;script src="/DesktopModules/itcMetaPost/js/m.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>
