		<description><![CDATA[QlikTech&#8217;s QlikView reporting and analysis tool is among a new class of Business Intelligence (BI) software tools. As Ben Harden reported in a recent blog post, BI vendors like SAP, Microsoft, and IBM have traditionally sold “to the IT enterprise, but companies like QlikTech and Tableau are targeting the business and bypassing IT.

		<description><![CDATA[Who would want to be a national health care administrator?  Who would want the responsibility for managing health care and formulating health policy for tens or hundreds of millions of people?  It seems obvious that such decisions would rely on quality data.  A recent interview impressed upon me how much data managers can learn from a <a href='http://robertlambert.net/2011/03/data-quality-data-governance-lessons-from-national-health-care/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There’s a data explosion going on and perhaps the strangest result is that business intelligence analysts need to become more artistic. Recently my friend Ben Harden directed my attention to a post from Steve Bennett of Oz Analytics on the future of BI. One challenge to analysts that Mr. Bennett cited was the unprecedented explosion in data <a href='http://robertlambert.net/2011/02/but-is-it-art-skills-of-the-next-generation-bi-professional/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here are three things to remember when putting together a BI business case: Intangible benefits don’t count. BI has no inherent value. Senior managers often make decisions about future outcomes with insufficient data.
