Peter Burgess Info
Short Bio
I am passionate about data as the driver of decisions. I did engineering and economics at Cambridge and later became a UK trained Chartered Accountant. I have had corporate experience as CFO and international consulting work with World Bank and UN.
What industry am I most involved with
As a data enthusiast I am not in any way constrained to any single industry.
How am I involved with BI
I am working on the development of a complementary accounting system that quantifies impact of economic activity for people, place, planet as well as profit. This has many of the characteristics of GAAP money profit accountancy, but gets into all the issues of accounting for externalities. Trying to think 'outside the box' while keeping everything very firmly rooted in on the ground reality.
What BI topics interest me
How relevant BI data can be acquired and how data may be organized to drive decisions that are optimized for people, place, planet and profit rather than for simply organization profit and stock value.
How did I learn about the BI meetup group
Not sure ... probably by probing around the Meetup community.
SQL 2012 - Building Better BI w. DQS (or Fighting GIGO with Knowledge) Print ticket Export Tell a friend Share Monday, July 8, 2013 6:00 PM to 8:30 PM Microsoft Offices, 6th floor 1290 Avenue of the Americas between 51st and 52nd Streets New York, NY (map) SQL 2012 – Building Better BI w. DQS (or Fighting GIGO with Knowledge) Data Quality challenges were discovered when the first Data Warehouse went into production back in the 1970s. Now, almost 40 years later most DW & BI projects are still plagued by it. GIGO (garbage in – garbage out) is one of the biggest concerns for customers and without a framework for sifting out bad & unreliable data, their confidence in BI systems can be very low. Data Quality Services (DQS) is a knowledge-driven solution, focusing on creation and maintenance of a Data Quality Knowledge Base (DQKB) that is reused for performing various data quality operations, such as data cleansing and matching. The main concept behind DQS is a rapid, easy-to-deploy, and easy-to-use data quality system that can be set up and used practically in minutes. In this session we’ll review the fundamentals of DQS and build our own Knowledge Base from scratch. We’ll train this knowledgebase (i.e. use Machine Learning) to discover data in our source systems and create rules and domains to define what the outcome data should look like. We’ll also hook into the cloud to leverage Melissa Address Verification Reference Service. In addition, we’ll see how this knowledgebase can be reused over time with SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) and expanded by data stewards as new data standards and domains are introduced into the DW.
