He serves as the Executive Vice President for PASS and has been a PASS volunteer (Chapter Leader, Regional Mentor, Board member) since 2001. Douglas, also a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) and member of Microsoft&#8217;s Business Intelligence Partner Advisory Council (BIPAC), holds an assortment of post-graduate degrees including an MBA, Masters of IT, and even a degree in Culinary Arts.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small\">Hey, have you heard the news? PASS is offering a premium education and networking event, the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/passbaconference.com\/\"><span style=\"font-size: small\">PASS Business Analytics Conference<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-size: small\">, April 10-12<sup>th<\/sup>, in Chicago focused on Business Intelligence and Analytics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small\">(By the way, I have been a PASS volunteer for over a decade \u2013 so when I talk about PASS, I say \u201cwe.\u201d)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small\">Ever since we announced this event, \u201c<b>What is Business Analytics?<\/b>\u201d has been a popular discussion. I\u2019ll admit, I\u2019m completely immersed in the world of data \u2013 devouring daily updates about upcoming releases of big data, self-service analysis, and data visualization software, and reading much Gartner and similar tech research. I find myself overly familiar with the incremental <i>Analytics<\/i> continuum: from <i>Descriptive<\/i> (reporting what happened) to <i>Diagnostic<\/i> (slice\/dice to find out why) to <i>Predictive<\/i> (use data mining to forecast reoccurrence) to <i>Prescriptive<\/i> (applying knowledge to affect change). Each of these steps rise in difficulty as they increase in corporate value \u2013 and they are all incorporated within the Business Analytics or BA moniker. And yes, Business Intelligence is core to Business Analytics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small\">I liken Business Analytics to a tube of biscuits: sleek and contained until you peel the label off and *pop* you are surprised by all the technologies that enable Business Analytics: reporting, relational data, ad-hoc query, OLAP, unstructured data, tabular, data mining, data visualization, master data, ETL, data quality, data governance\/stewardship, collaboration, search, mobile, etc.. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">All companies use business analytics<\/span>, even if they have not progressed along the entire <i>Analytics<\/i> continuum or adopted each underlying technology.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small\">PASS is focused on education and networking for Microsoft SQL Server professionals. In recent years, as SQL Server has grown, we have embraced reporting, business intelligence, big data, and most bordering technologies required to architect, develop, deploy, maintain and optimize information management and data-centric applications using and\/or touching SQL Server. PASS has never changed its mission or struck off in a new direction, but the technical education needs of its membership has expanded.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small\">PASS serves the community with international conferences, local grassroots events and virtual events. An audit of the content available through these many channels reveal: reporting, relational data, ad-hoc query, OLAP, unstructured data, tabular, data mining, data visualization, master data, ETL, data quality, data governance\/stewardship, collaboration, search, mobile, etc. So if you apply inductive reasoning then <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">PASS is a Business Analytics community organization<\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small\">BA is bigger than PASS, but PASS has a lot to offer to BA professionals. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Education without community has finite value,<\/span> but build a network surrounding education, then the value of accountability and reciprocation becomes infinite. That is the value of community and PASS.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small\">If you have not already considered the PASS Business Analytics Conference April 10-12th in Chicago, you must reconsider and <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/spr.ly\/pbreg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-size: small\">register now<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-size: small\">! The event offers an unmatched speaker program, bolstered with amazing keynotes from Microsoft\u2019s Kamal Hathi &amp; Amir Netz and Dr. Steven Levitt, excellent sponsorship from the best exhibitors and it is hosted at an ideal location and venue.
