The Ross Morrissey Group LLC brings Data Warehousing Design approaches to the MultiValue Industry through alliances with C-7 Reporting Solutions, LLC and Precision Solutions, Inc
|
|
|
Ross Morrissey, formerly Channel Solutions Architect at MultiValue business intelligence vendor MITS , is extending his business intelligence consulting practice to provide professional services and Web-based training through partnerships with two MultiValue industry leaders.
Morrissey , an IBM Certified Solutions Expert - U2 Family Application Development and a TDWI Certified Business Intelligence Professional, will provide custom professional services to help C-7 Reporting Solutions, LLC . tailor analytical and operational reporting solutions for MultiValue customers. Ross Morrissey, Principal Consultant at The Ross Morrissey Group LLC , said "Nobody has more experience selling advanced reporting to the MultiValue industry than C-7 Reporting Solutions, and I'm thrilled to be working with Larry Christensen again."
"Combining the talent of The Ross Morrissey Group and C-7 Reporting Solutions gives the User the ability to work with the right mix of people who understand their reporting needs and are capable of increasing their profits and decreasing costs like no other combination of companies in the market." Said Larry Christensen, President of C-7. Larry went on to say, "I have been working with Ross in varying technical and training capacities for a number of years and am delighted to cement a Strategic Alliance with someone who has right combination of talent, wit and the ability to get the job done right the first time."
Morrissey brought a strong MultiValue background as well as practical experience and formal training in data warehousing to consulting and training engagements over the past several years, helping key executives and IT staff from over 100 MultiValue organizations better understand their key business processes using a dimensional modeling approach. Dimensional modeling has gained acceptance over the past decade as the standard approach to data warehousing and analytical reporting of transactions and data snapshots over time, customer, product, and other dimensions. Designs of this nature can be implemented as MITS hypercubes, or form the basis for solutions in any number of mainstream and open source data warehousing environments.
The Ross Morrissey Group will collaborate with Precision Solutions , Inc to extend their highly regarded Connect! Web-based U2 training program to include business intelligence and reporting content. Dimensional modeling will be the foundation of a series of sessions on crafting analytical reporting solutions, and MITS Discover sessions will provide practical interactive training to help users get up to speed quickly. Morrissey said: "I've been referring people to Precision Solutions ' training for years, and I'm really looking forward to teaching using the interactive Connect! Web training environment."

Sierra Bravo Dashboard Empowers Pick Programmers to Make Business-Data Driven Charts and Graphs in Real Time
|
|
|
|
With Bravo Dashboard, Pick programmers can ask clients running MultiValue-powered businesses to realistically consider what their "dream screen" would look like. Bravo Dashboard enables Pick programmers to install a dashboard of widgets - dynamically creating an always-current picture of their most important business metrics. "Sierra Bravo has a large staff of business-savvy Pick programmers and web nerds that love to build cool stuff," said Luke Bucklin, President of Sierra Bravo , based in Bloomington, Minn. "With Bravo Dashboard , we've created yet another solution to extend the vitality of MultiValue systems - and preserve our clients' existing investment in technology." Bravo Dashboard is the first and only dashboard software solution to be offered free of charge, and unlike its pricey competitors, Bravo Dashboard can be shared by multiple users rather than being tied to a single paid licensee. While it takes a programmer with Pick experience to build widgets with Bravo Dashboard , these widgets are built using tools they already know how to use. This allows programmers serving Multi-Value-powered companies to create useful widgets in a cost-effective manner. Each dashboard widget is created in real-time so information displayed is always current. MultiValue-powered companies with no Pick programmer on staff can hire Sierra Bravo to install the free Bravo Dashboard software and begin writing programs to create attractive, data-driven portals.

U2 Developer Works Article: Validate data types in U2 using XML schema. U2 stores all of its data without any type validation. Thus the same field can contain an integer, a string, or even an internal date structure. While this may be useful to the application developer, it can cause problems when integrating the data from your U2 environment to an external environment. In this article, validate the data against a schema and prevent invalid data with update triggers.
