I think Ascential and maybe the other ETL companies have a contest for EDW site of the year. Maybe Kimbal or Inmon or both can judge it.

I would love to see samples of things done right. Even if this was only among Ascential customers then it would still be cool. Give a trip to Europe away. I think we are all looking for better ways to do things. This would promote good ideas.

Data warehouse site of the year
Re: Data warehouse site of the year
Hehe. Off topic, but it reminds me of the trip to AscentialWorld in Miami, Florida this year. I am an avid visitor of Dave & Busters, so naturally, I seeked out the local chain at Dolphins Mall. Dave & Busters promotes several tournaments, including Skee-ball World Championship. This year tournament was located at that Dave & Busters in Miami. However, their billboard advertisment still states:kduke wrote:Give a trip to Europe away.
"Win a trip to Miami!"
So I suspect that if a trip was given away for a contest like this, someone from Europe would naturally win.
