Now with Hitachi Consulting

If you’re following me on LinkedIn, you’ve already seen this. I just joined Hitachi Consulting here in Houston as a senior architect in their Microsoft practice. It’s an exciting challenge and I’m really looking forward to the new opportunities with Hitachi. I’ll be focusing on the Microsoft platform (of course!) and, specifically, in the broader business intelligence. I’ve been putting a lot of thought lately around a “continuum of business intelligence” and where the different pieces – CEP, traditional BI and Big Data BI (Hadoop/PDW) – play in that story. I’m also continuing to work on my StreamInsight Foundation; you’ll see a new post on that before the end of the week where I’ll talk about how we’ll decouple queries and query logic from the producers and consumers of the data.
