Narrator replaces a star schema with one 11-column data model. Their new self-serve product transforms your company’s data into a single 11-column data model and allows you to generate any table for BI, reporting, and analysis using just that model.

What went right? It’s such a simple question but quite difficult to answer. So much time spent reflecting after being in services is about what went wrong, how things could be improved, where opportunities were missed… It’s incredibly easy to pull countless examples of those things out and dissect them at length for whichever audience […] There are really very few things more relevant to those of us who have had to recover from the experience of homelessness than planning and progression.

    Almost eight years ago I launched an online “Linux sysadmin course for newbies” here at HN. It was a side-project that went well, but never generated enough money to allow me to fully commit to leaving the Day Job. After surviving the Big C, and getting made redundant I thought I might improve and relaunch it commercially – but my doctors are a pessimistic bunch, so it looked like I didn’t have the time.
