New Web Site

My new web site is now up and running. Please visit http://www.bsmithsolutions.com. There you'll find "The Little Book of Business Intelligence," a compilation of articles from this blog in Adobe Acrobat format, plus a link to a little development project I'm working on.

I will no longer post to this blog, but will leave the content for the time being. See you on the new site!

Update: New Site Coming Soon

I've been sidetracked by some things lately, but haven't forgotten about this site. I'm preparing a new site to address a number of topics, including business intelligence. One of the first things on the new site will be a free pdf file repackaging the best articles on this blog, which I had previously promised. When I have it all together, you'll be the first to know..

Blog Updates

If you've been here before you'll note a change in the title. Having finished my "primer" posts I decided it was time to drop "primer" from the blog title. I plan to shift the focus of the blog toward small to medium businesses (SMB) and to post a bit more.than I have recently. I'll still try as much as possible to "take the mystery out" of the subject matter. Also, I intend to seek out opportunities to monetize the blog in a way that is consistent with the content and, hopefully, useful to you (no pizza ads if I can help it). Finally, I'm working on compiling the "primer" posts into an eBook which I'll make available for download. Stay tuned.

Site Updates

I've added a static page to the site (see the link at left) that contains links to my posts on the PRIME model from December and January. I feel this is a potentially very useful concept and therefore want to make sure it is easy for you to navigate. If you have not looked at these articles, I encourage you to do so.

Also, I have now completed the "core dump" of ideas that led me to begin this blog and so I won't be posting as frequently. I do plan to make comments on BI and analytics industry trends where I feel there is a business angle and will continue to announce new articles via Twitter (@thisbrucesmith). I'll also continue to tweak the content of this site in an effort to make it more useful and accessible.
