Comments about this course...

This turned out to be my most interesting course. Probably because it most closely matched the sort of things I did in the halcyon days as a Business Analyst, researching solutions, giving presentations, writing summary documents, and working with a project team. This was also the most difficult course because of the short quarter and the amount of content we covered. Grade: 4.0

We covered various technologies related to Enterprise Architecture. The samples here are from a presentation for the Operational Data Store & Corporate Information Factory. The first link is the presentation and the second link is the written report based on the presentation.
