Kalido Virtual Conference 2009

Quite a few days back on Oct 6th 2009, i attended Kalido virtual conference, ya you read it right virtul conference by Kalido. For those who may be wondering what Kalido is, basically in one line i would say this tool would help you build your warehouses in 50% less time than the normal methodolgy we use to build the warehouses. Kalido is a tool used for Adaptive Warehousing and it combines the methodolgy of both Ralph Kimbal and Bill Inmon who are the fathers of Data Warehousing. So isnt it amazing you get the best of the both worlds in one tool. How cool is that,for more information please visit Kalido. Now back to the conference...

I had never attended the virtual conference from morning 5.00 am to 6.00pm, that was a lot of time to sit in front of computer, as people around the globe were attending the conference and Kalido had to cater to everyone's needs. But frankly; it didnt feel like i was in front of computer for more than 12 hours, because it was soo real and we had avtars moving around the screen, we could chat with people we know and share the documents and look what other customers are doing and how are they implementing this tool and sharing their problems.

My Company Project Performance Corporation was one of the platinum sponsors for this event,so we were given a booth and it was fun standing at the back of booth, customers coming to us; asking for solutions and our old customers giving us their reference, everything happening live.Pretty cool.. We has some great presentations from the Kalido team which always helps me to learn a lot about the tool and the concepts of Data Warehousing.

We had C-level people coming from all around the globe,attending this event so it was a great networking event too. I wish i could have shown some screen shots of this event,but i did not capture any:(, may be next year i would capture some. But i would like to encourage you all to have a look at the strengths of Kalido and i am sure everyone of you would be amazed; this tool is capable of doing :) . For e.g. Date variance is automatically handled by this tool,out of box and we never need to worry about it. Those who work in Data Warehouse industry do understand the gravity of Date Variance.

So in all it was nice experience for me and i will surely keep you updated about the next exciting event from Kalido

I would be posting some articles on Kalido, so do keep in touch...See you then
