Presentation Slides and Photos from the Rittman Mead BI Forum 2015, Brighton and Atlanta

It’s now the Saturday after the two Rittman Mead BI Forum 2015 events, last week in Atlanta, GA and the week before in Brighton, UK. Both events were a great success and I’d like to say thanks to the speakers, attendees, our friends at Oracle and my colleagues within Rittman Mead for making the two events so much fun. If you’re interested in taking a look at some photos from the two events, I’ve put together two Flickr photosets that you can access using the links below:

We’ve also uploaded the presentation slides from the two events (where we’ve been given permission to share them) to our website, and you can download them including the Delivering the Oracle Information Management and Big Data Reference Architecture masterclass using the links below:
