Read my absolutely fabulous books: http://www.goodstrat.com/books
 
A quiet disquiet has settled over the once-confident corridors of enterprise data. What was, not so long ago, regarded as a rigorous and rather specialised craft, data warehousing and business intelligence, now frequently presents itself in a more casual, even improvisational guise. A growing number of senior executives, technology directors and indeed practitioners themselves confess to a mounting discomfort with the quality, and at times the sheer quantity, of self-proclaimed experts who populate the field.

Madrid, 7th January 2026

The origins of data warehousing are often pinned to the late 1980s, when the term “business data warehouse” first appeared in an influential IBM Systems Journal article by researchers Barry Devlin and Paul Murphy. I was based in Birmingham at that time, and I also wrote a similar foundational document on Information Centres for Sperry Univac.
Yet, as with many technological breakthroughs, the story is far richer and older than the conventional narrative suggests. The foundational components of what we now recognise as a data warehouse were quietly taking shape as early as the 1960s, driven by the need to organise, integrate, and analyse growing volumes of business information in an era of punch cards, magnetic tape, and the first mainframes.

CEOs and the Magic Mitten of Hallucinations

Martyn Rhisiart Jones

Oza-Cesuras, 4/12/2025

CEOs are panicking. Again. They’re not worried about a recession. It’s not a hostile takeover. It’s not even the GDPR lurking in their inbox like a passive-aggressive ghost. They’re panicking because of AI. Yes, apparently there’s a talent gap. A yawning, gaping chasm of human inadequacy between what exists and what robots can do. Only the CEOs are brave. Some may even be desperate. They are the only ones who stare into it without blinking or vomiting on the nearest whiteboard.

Big Data is all pervasive, all seeing and all knowing.

Everyone is doing Big Data, and if they aren’t then they will.  It’s inevitable.

Big Data will revolutionise the worlds of data, decision making and business.

Am I right, or am I right?

When you have read this, if indeed you read it all, will I have failed to convey the essence of what I am trying to get at? Will a confusion of entropy win the battle? Will the wheel of fortune turn in my favour, or will I fail to connect and communicate effectively?

Let’s give it a spin and see what happens. Continue reading →

HERE WE GO WITH BIG DATA VIBES

Clive: Yeah, well, you had to, didn’t you? You had to stand up for what you stood for, didn’t you? I mean, the only time I remember a similar occasion was, I was in, errm… I was at Spurs, Tottenham Hotspurs.

The management and architecture of Information Assets

For more than two decades I have tried to convey the importance of treating information and knowledge as potential assets.

Around the world, the response has usually been mixed.

It is understandable that there is frequent reluctance to accept that information might have real value. Continue reading →

I wanted to call this piece ‘A random drive down Camino Real’.

Written by Martyn Richard Jones

Steve Jobs was a great entrepreneur.

Clearly, he was.

Jobs turned a dismal maker of a wide range of gadgets into a powerful, highly focused technology, fashion, and PR business.

The stylistic touches in Apple products carry the elegant, crisp palate of bourgeois minimalism, a fragrant bouquet of exclusivity, and a delightful aftertaste of subdued superiority. Continue reading →
