About this Blog

Welcome to the Altek Solutions Blog.  We’re glad you’re here.

This blog features our management team and several of our consultants, who share their perspectives and invite discussion on the issues they see and face in the course of consulting with our clients.   The blog offers an “inside look” at some of the latest technologies in Business Intelligence, and provides best practices for implementing a variety of Business Intelligence solutions.

To foster a meaningful and constructive discussion, we follow these guiding principles:

  • We will provide our unique perspectives on what’s going in the world of Business Intelligence
  • We will post comments, except for spam and remarks that are off-topic or offensive;
  • We will reply to comments promptly, when appropriate;
  • We will respect proprietary information and confidentiality; and
  • We will be respectful when disagreeing with others’ opinions.

We invite you visit the site regularly to read about what’s on the minds of our consultants and to join in the discussion.

What are Feeds?

Web feeds are XML formats for distributing news headlines on the Web. Our blog’s feed will keep you informed whenever we post new content. The advantage of feeds is that you can read headlines from multiple sites in one application. There is no charge to subscribe.

If you’d like to subscribe to our newsfeed, use a newsreader application like Newsgator, FeedDemon, or NewsFire. You can also use a web-based application like Bloglines or MyYahoo.

Modern browsers like FireFox, Safari, Camino, Opera, and Internet Explorer 7 all read and support feeds.

What’s a Tag Cloud?

A tag cloud is a visual depiction of the content folksonomy, or tags, used on our blog. Tags are visually weighted in a tag cloud to indicate frequency of use.  Selecting a tag within the cloud will lead to a results page showing entries associated with that tag.
