Karen De Vries
Karen is an analyst and consultant who at various times has worked for Persetel in South Africa, PriceWaterhouseCoopers and Energis, both in the UK. Her clear analytic mind and organisation has lead directly to much of the documentation template standards we use today, and helped define approaches to understanding business requirements.
Ralph Kimball
Ralph is known worldwide as an innovator, writer, educator, speaker and consultant in the field of data warehousing. His books on dimensional design techniques have become the all time best sellers in data warehousing: "The Data Warehouse Toolkit : Practical Techniques for Building Dimensional Data Warehouses " (Wiley, 1996), "The Data Warehouse Lifecycle Toolkit : Expert Methods for Designing, Developing, and Deploying Data Warehouses" (Wiley 1998) e "The Data Webhouse Toolkit: Building the Web-Enabled Data Warehouse" (Wiley 2000). Ralph's encouragement and training led directly to the set up of Data Management and Warehousing in 1995.

Paul Winder
Paul is a leading consultant with a leading database vendor in Europe. His concepts in the development of process neutral models, especially in the Telco arena have broken ground on the understanding of information required to run a business. It was in working with him that the concepts of process neutral and self similar data models were developed for Telco projects in South Africa and Switzerland.
Tim Wright
Tim has been a major contributor of ideas about where to find and how to apply new technologies to our projects. He is a source that provides insight into what we might achieve rather than just delivering the mundane.
