Organizations have come to place a great deal of value on an employee's ability to mine valuable business intelligence out of its mounds and mounds of data. I'm seeing a $15,000 - $30,000/yr premium being paid for database professionals with business intelligence skills. Bottom line: it pays to update your skill set and bring more value to your company.

So pick up some lunch and come join us. Barry Ralston will provide an excellent kick-off for our 3-Part series on Business Intelligence.

Please RSVP so we can make sure we will have enough room.

2006 Turing Award Winner to Speak at UAB CIS

Invitation open to Public

Is Computing at a Tipping Point?

Speaker: Fran Allen, IBM Fellow Emerita

Location: Hill University Center Auditorium(1400 University Blvd)

Date: Monday, April 6

Time: 11:00 am - 12:30 pm
Cost: Free and open to public.

FIRST FEMALE WINNER OF HIGHEST
COMPUTER SCIENCE HONOR TO SPEAK AT UAB


BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - A computer science pioneer who was the first female to be named both an A.M. Turing Award winner and an IBM Fellow will conduct a free lecture at UAB. Frances E. Allen, whose 2006 Turing Award is considered by the computer science community to be the "Nobel Prize of computing," will speak 11-12:30 p.m. Monday, April 6, in the Hill University Center Auditorium, 1400 University Blvd., Birmingham. The event sponsor is the UAB Department of Computer and Information Sciences (CIS) and the Student Chapter of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).

Allen, who event organizers called a trailblazer and mentor for women in science, computing and engineering, will address the following question in her talk: Will the rate at which computing capabilities develop continue or has the field reached a tipping point? Allen will draw on all of her experiences during a 45-year career with IBM to suggest answers.

Organizers are calling Allen's visit a milestone for UAB CIS because it is the first department sponsored seminar to feature a Turing Award winner.

I plan on discussing a general overview of BI from an
end user perspective and from an IT perspective then discussing how
Infinity went about laying out our goals for a BI initiative. I discuss the
choice in OBIEE as our product, steps to achieve our desired goals, keys to a
successful implementation and benefits received. Basically, I walk you
