Today's business is changing.  Technology and Information are becoming the norm in every industry.

If you are being overloaded with information requests, then you need to take a look at VMARK's  DataStage's offering.  It is a complete Visually oriented Component based Extracting, Cleansing  and Transformation tool that will enable you to create your very own Data Mart or Data Warehouse.

Now your users can use industry standard tools to write their own reports without impacting the main system.

VMARK will demonstrate how to connect to your database and build your Data Warehouse.  They will then show various industry tools to create reports.  Tools such as Impromptu, Access and others.

One again I find myself asking for your indulgence as the recently appointed Board of Directors scramble to keep our commitments to the membership. Please accept my personal apology as well as that of my associate board members for a summer picknic that did not happen.  Maybe we can get it together for next summer!

We have worked hard to establish a 90 day window of coming attractions so that everyone can pencil in the dates well in advance of the next meeting. The next three months should prove interesting as the topics appear to be timely and the presenters are all very good. In fact, Mark Pick will be visiting with us before the end of the year to give us an update on his new venture with Jones Business Systems (JBS). I hope to see you at this month's meeting.
