Yesterday I gave a talk at the MicroStrategy Symposium in Dusseldorf. The theme of my presentation was “High-performance reporting with MicroStrategy and Teradata.”

Since I’ve caught a cold last weekend pretty much, was my biggest worry is that I will interrupt my speech every 5 minutes by uncontrollable coughing fits. EinPaar against dry cough lozenges, however, have worked wonderfully and I could entertain my audience for nearly an hour long carefree.

After I’ve heard some even had hundreds of speeches in my life, I wanted to bore my audience in any case with the superficial marketing films.   I simply could not allow that they will be too technical, because I did not sleep the total of the coveted audience wanted to risk it.

I assumed that my audience will have relatively good knowledge of MicroStrategy: otherwise they would not participate in the MicroStrategy Symposium. The Teradata information could however be rather rare so far. For this reason I have my old “MicroStrategy and Teradata” presentations that I prepared for Teradata customers can use without further: they provided the functionality of MicroStrategy in the forefront and dealt with the concepts of Teradata only marginally. I have therefore one new lecture prepared, which has included, inter alia, a 5-slide introduction to the Teradata architecture.

Minus: Some “human losses” during the lecture.
Plus: positive feedback after the lecture.

If you, dear reader, have heard my talk, write me please, what out of your sight was good and what needs improvement.
