The Universe Dreams are Made of

Weeeeee're Baaaaaaaack.  While you may be wondering how no one noticed that we were actually off the air a bit, we forgive you.  We are quite excited to be back on the recording deck to punch out a long awaited episode.  In this show, the gang all takes a swag with our guest Ethan Jewett and telling SAP just what we'd love to see in a single semantic layer for SAP BI.

You may be wondering what that echo is during part of the recording.  It was an unusual show with Eric hanging out with Greg in Philly and Josh bringing "down under stereo" to the show.  

To that point, when you do hit that part about the tweet up, don't tell our moms, but do comment on whether you'd like to tweetup again at SAPPHIRE.

Enjoy the show, we did.

SAP Visual Intelligence

We are kicking off Season 3 with some geeky stuff.  We are joined this episode by Mr. Andrew Fox to dive into SAP Visual Intelligence. Is it hype?  Or the next Desktop Intelligence?  And, thanks to Andrew, we are coining a new hashtag...#ExcelHero.

And, for your mockery, our #DataGeek challenge submissions:

  • Andrew tried to find what was making us all fat
  • Jamie dreams of being taller
  • Greg does a great job of finding new places for Jamie and Eric to get into trouble
  • Eric realizes he never wants to live on the west coast ever ever

Gaining visibility into the inner-workings of your SAP BusinessObjects environment can be challenging even for the skilled system administrators.
