Hello and Welcome to my web site.  Thank you for coming. Best Regards, Peter Nolan.

Home

The purposes of this home page are to provide:

1. A place for me to have my personal rants and raves about Data Warehousing, express my opinion if you wish.
   

2. A place for me to publish material that I have developed over the years. I hope to put something back into the data warehousing business as it has been very good to me over the last 10 years.
   

3. A place to promote and sell the products that I am developing for the data warehouse marketplace.  The two products I have brought to market to date have links below, and there are some more very interesting products on the way.

   1. The C Data Warehouse Generator

   2. The Instant Data Warehouse
      

4. Provide links to other sites I think are useful to data warehousing practitioners around the world.
   

5. Lastly, I'm currently a self-employed consultant. I trust that some people reading this site will think enough of it to hire me to do some work for them!!

Why Another Web Site?

Perhaps the first question you would ask is 'Why another Data Warehousing Website?' Surely, there are enough of them out there. 

In part I agree, there are a lot of web sites out there and I have linked a number of them on my related links page. The part I don't agree with is the value of a number of web sites out there.  There are a lot with not much behind them. Most of them are vendor sites selling something, so every presentation or white paper is skewed towards the vendors product or service.  I have no problem with that, I've been a vendor for many years, I just think it is worth while putting other opinions into the marketplace.  

I also wanted a place where I could publish my own materials without having to be concerned about having them agreed to by someone else, or having them interpreted as the possible views of a vendor or employer.  Everything you see on this site is just my opinion. It does not represent the views of anyone else 'influencing' me. 

Who is Peter Nolan?

Most of the people who will find their way here will already know of me one way or another.  Either from postings to the dwlist group, from the tag on the bottom of my email, or by word of mouth from colleagues.

I have included my resume so that you can take a detailed look at my background if you like. 

For the purposes of this web site who I am is a person who has:

1. Been working in IT for 20+ years.
2. Been working in Data Warehousing exclusively for 11+ years.
3. Successfully implemented a large number of Data Warehouses.
4. Performed business development for large vendors and consulting firms.
5. Been asked a lot of questions about data warehousing.
6. Developed a large number of presentations about data warehousing to give to customers. Some of them can be placed here, most of them can't.

It is my hope that content I put on the web site may be of some use to you.

Best Regards

Peter Nolan
