"Ralph is known worldwide as an innovator, writer, educator, speaker and consultant on the topic of data warehousing. This seminar will be an ideal educational opportunity to advise people who are wondering what approach to take in their data warehousing projects."
Thornthwaite will cover:

* Data warehouses;
* Integration with customers and suppliers;

Drawing on over 20 years` experience in building decision support and data warehousing systems, Thornthwaite will discuss how to avoid the major pitfalls in data warehousing and data integration projects as they mature through the first three and six months, and then first, second and third years.
This will be a live, interactive Web seminar, with interactive Q&A session.
