Doug and his colleagues at WhereScape Consulting are an experienced set of chaps that will build (or assist with) data warehouse projects. For this months presentation we have asked Doug to come and talk to us about common data problems he encounters with large data migrations and how he and the team at Wherescape solve them as well as his thoughts around identifying and normalizing master data when combining multiple legacy systems We intend this to be an interactive session so bring your questions or data problems you are struggling with and let’s start the discussion.

Doug Barrett is Senior Solution Architect at WhereScape where he has 15 years’ experience with data and data warehousing. Doug’s areas of focus include Data Warehouse modelling, Database development and tuning, OLAP analysis and development, Agile project management, and Business communication. This broad business focus backed with deep technical depth make Doug a true T shaped professional. Doug is an Agile practitioner and believes Agile is a natural way to work with data warehouse projects as it allows developers to react quickly as they gain a better understanding of their data, data quality and business requirements throughout the life-cycle of a project.
