Mistakes and Improvements - Business Intelligence Demystified Book


It's satisfying to know that the book Business Intelligence Demystified is gradually gaining recognition and more people are purchasing and more importantly reading it and also sharing their feedback. 

Happy to let you all know that I have completed reading of the paperback edition of the book. It took me around 12 to 14 hours to read it. It took me more time than I had expected because I was also making a note of all mistakes that I should have avoided in the first place and also a note of all the improvements that can be made in the next edition (if any). 

I would like to list all the mistakes and keep it transparent, so in the link below you can check the list of mistakes. If you happen to notice any other mistakes that are not listed, please do let me know. Also, if you would like to share how this book has helped you, please do.

ETL developer vs Data engineer

Rephrased question : ETL developer vs Data engineer Answer : Unfortunately there are no strict industry standards on these job titles. That is just one part of it. Before ETL tools such as DataStage, Informatica, Ab Initio, etc., became popular, developers were hand coding every ETL flow. These ETL tools shortened the ETL flow development time to a great extent and allowed ETL developers to focus on business rule/logic/requirement (what to implement) than how to code it or optimize the code. There are many other benefits of using a tool but I won’t go into that in this answer. So an ETL developer with experience in these tools without any programming (coding) experience was/is able to design and develop end to end data flows. Whenever new types of source/target data format comes up, these tools catch up but it takes time, i.e., the ETL tool provider (e.g. Microsoft, IBM, etc.,) adds new components/connectors within the ETL tool to be able to work with new data format.

3 years of IBI

This week (on 19th Feb 2020) I completed 3 years of IBI. To celebrate it I have created a Dashboard in Google Data Studio. So from now on instead of using the charts in the Google Sheets I will use the Dashboard. Google Data Studio is more user friendly and mobile friendly too, also it comes with easy to use filters and drill down/up capabilities. PDF version of the first 2 pages of the shareable dashboard is attached below. I am happy to share the first 2 pages of the IBI Dashboard, reach out to me if you would like to get the Google Data Studio IBI dashboard. Once you get the dashboard (without my data of course) you can make a copy of it and point it to your IBI data (assuming you have started), add more charts, pages, etc., and use it for your benefit. Like with every year, this IBI year too I have learnt a lot about myself, made new mistakes, changed several things about me. The benefits of IBI is much more than we can think of. Use it to know it. And what are some of the
