I Will Be Producing More Opinion Pieces
Opinion pieces are more popular than broadcast pieces...
Hello and welcome to this update.
I really appreciate you being a subscriber to my Substack.
Thank you.
In this update I just wanted to let you know that I will be producing more opinion pieces as “response pieces” to articles released by other thought leaders in the area of Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing.
The reason for this is simple.
Response videos and opinion pieces that are responses to articles generate more interaction with readers.
All social media sites reward more interactions.
I have already released everything a man needs to start his own data warehousing business for free.
There are “paid for” versions of my SeETL software and my data model verticals, but the base levels are free and source code. There is no taking them back.
They are all any man needs to start their own data warehousing consulting company.
You can get the latest version of all my freebies on this link.
If you would like to be on my actual email list for Instant Business Intelligence you can get on that email list on this button.
I do not send out many emails since there are so few people on my email list.
I have over 6,000 people on my email list that I have accumulated over the years.
I offered them the opportunity to subscribe to my new email list because most of those people are no longer in Data Warehousing.
Very few of them came across to the new email list which indicates the lack of interest in making more profit in corporations now days.
On the header of my Substack you can see a menu item for “Opinion” and this is where all the new Opinion Pieces will be.
In Substack you can control the emails you get from a publisher.
So if you do not want to receive my Opinion Pieces as emails you can go into the Newsletter menu item and you can turn off Opinion as one of the newsletters you get.
I will continue to release posts for other sections but they will be relatively few and far between.
Having published so much over the last 15 years there is little point repeating what is said in those posts.
I may release updated versions of some of those posts over time.
In other news I now have a paid subscriber! Hooray!
As promised the “benefit” of being a subscriber is that I promise to answer any questions from a subscriber.
If the subscriber wants the answer privately that’s fine.
If the subscriber is happy for me to answer the question publicly that’s fine too.
Subscriptions are currently USD5 per month or USD40 per year.
You can subscribe on this button.
That is all for now.
Thank you again for being a subscriber on my Substack.
I really appreciate you for being here.
I would like to get back to being one of the most widely read people in the Business Intelligence area as I was in the late 1990s.
Our industry segment is now a laughing stock on the business side of the house.
If men are to re-establish their professional reputation and respect in the Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing area?
Then they are going to have to finally listen to me and take my advice.
Men have not been willing to listen to me in any numbers since 2002 or so.
The state of our profession reflects the fact men in our industry segment did not take my advice.
If you want to be respected in your profession of Business Intelligence and / or Data Warehousing?
You would be well advised to take my advice.
Up to you.
Lastly, I will do some opinion pieces on Artificial Intelligence.
I am not at all bullish on AI over and above BI.
There is much more profit to be made by companies by using Business Intelligence than there is in using Artificial Intelligence.
As we stand today?
There is still no technology investment a company can make with a higher return on investment than doing Business Intelligence properly.
This has been true for thirty years and I do not see it not being true in the next thirty years either.
That Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing has been done so poorly is a reflection on the professionalism of the men in our industry, not the principles of our industry.
I wish you a good weekend.
Best Regards
Peter Andrew Nolan.
