David Loshin's Blog Channel

A Word From David

Welcome to my corner of the DataFlux blog! Some of you may recognize my name from DM Review columns, the B-Eye-Network expert channel, quarterly contributions to The Data Administration Newsletter, or from one of my books on data quality and business intelligence - but if not, let me introduce myself. My name is David Loshin, and I am the president of Knowledge Integrity, Inc., a small consulting firm whose mission is to employ sound information management methodologies to enable organizations to better understand, value, and manage their enterprise information resources.

Some of you may know that I already host a blog over at B-Eye-Network - so what am I doing here? Truthfully, I see the DataFlux experts channel as more than just a place to drop my thoughts. Because I get to share the spotlight with some extremely talented colleagues, Jill Dyche and Robert Lerner, this web experience will provide a forum not just for me to state my point of view, but to participate in what I hope will be a lively online conversation about different aspects of data quality, as well as other relevant areas of interest such as data integration, metadata, and business intelligence.

In the end, though, what will make this blog an exciting place will be reader interaction. I encourage all of you to not just sit back and enjoy, but to actively participate with us!
