A Couple of New Blogs

A quick nod to a few new blogs that I've recently spotted.

Simon Ellis is someone I've worked with on a couple of projects before, and is a pretty capable technologist and project lead working in the Oracle middleware and architecture space. Simon's posted a couple of good articles recently on Oracle's move into the "fabric" market, and the new Secure Enterprise Search application, and knowing what Simon knows about the wider Oracle picture I'll be sure to pop back there every so often.

Someone Simon rates very highly is Nick Price, another ex-Oracle person who now works in recruitment. As I'm just about to dive into the independent consultancy market myself, maybe Nick will be someone to keep an eye on...

Finally, I happened across a new blog by Metricsphere's Director of BI, Jeff McQuigg, on working with Oracle BI Suite Enterprise Edition. Blogs on BI EE are still fairly rare (this one by Adrian Ward is another one to keep an eye on) and I noticed some good postings by Jeff on Achieving good performance with Analytics, Subject Area Planning, and to what degree you should use the Common Enterpise Information Model to do your data integration, vs. using your ETL tool. Good stuff.
