The beauty of Mashup I believe is in rapid value, simple to use and empowering non-tech users to equally contribute to the solution. <BR/><BR/>More than ever, the current economic conditions and business problems drive IT and Businesses teams to embrace these rapid value concepts. And I believe specialists like you are the key players in influencing businesses to reap the benefits of these innovations.Gopi Padakandlahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09554765926145106015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8731850749845921666.post-43754810869549095372008-04-13T09:21:00.000-07:002008-04-13T09:21:00.000-07:00Gopi:<BR/><BR/>Awesome insights, indeed! I have found that the theory behind BI leaves alot of transaction system users in the lurch. With jargon like dimensions, star schema, holap, molap, and rolap, its difficult to engage these users in discussions during the delivery phase of the project.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps Mashups, with their rapid assembly framework and drag and drop tools, will help bridge that gap all too soon.Walterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09029681169451444994noreply@blogger.com
