That's a very good idea.  People and jobs come and go and its difficult to keep track, so an automated group like jiscmail is ideal to keep in touch if there's a wide interest, which there seems to be.
 
I've set up Jiscmail groups in the past, I think I was even one of the first three founder members of this group when it was a private list, through its gravitation first to mailbase then to Jiscmail.  (The late Rae Mitchell at Aston was the prime instigator to whom we owe an enormous debt of gratitude as it has been very useful over the years.)
 
There's virtually no traffic on my only current jiscmail list, ADMIN-ELQ, but I am set up as a list owner with Jiscmail so two is just as much work as one.  So rather than burden Ali, the list-owner of this one, where there is quite a bit of traffic, I am happy to volunteer to set this one if that would be popular?
 
Suggested terms:
 
Name:  ADMIN-BUSINESS-INTELLIGENCE
 
Description: to discuss from a non-technical point of view issues about the use of Business Intelligence tools, and related topics such as data warehousing, in providing corporate and strategic management information within universities and colleges
 
Need to make it clear it's not a forum for RDBMS technobabble I think and aimed at users and strategic planners/analysts?  Any thoughts? Amendments?    Anyone else prefer to do it?  It takes a few days to get it running if we go ahead.
 
Kind regards
 
Mike

Hi

 

Is there a separate Jiscmail group being set up relating to BI issues, if so I’d be interested joining.

Hi Georgina,

 

At Bournemouth University we are embarking on a Data Warehousing exercise to join up student/finance/HR/vitual learning & timetabling systems and would be very interested in participating in the survey - and very interested in the results also.

 

Regards,

 

Liam

Subject: Mini Survey on business intelligence

 

 

Thanks to those who have emailed their responses to my mini survey

posted earlier. I've noticed that with everyone's busy workloads it is

difficult for people to respond by this Friday - so would like to extend

the deadline to next Friday 19th March. Sorry about that, I

underestimated the level of interest!

 

Regards

 

Georgina
