Dedications

To my family, especially my wife Jen, for being so excited for me on
getting the opportunity
to write the book and then pushing me to get it done.

To my wife Karen, and our children Katelyn, Jessica
and Joshua. To my dad for teaching me the value of perseverance.

I’d like to thank RDA and my colleagues there for creating an environment
where we can learn together and encouraging me to take on
new challenges. I’d also like to thank Ralph Ceseña and Dominic
Eve who first got me interested in Business Intelligence technologies
many years ago.

I dedicate this book to each and every member of my family for their
unconditional
support in all aspects of my life. I love you all!
