Adrian Ward is an Oracle Business Intelligence expert who started life as a sailing instructor, but soon found computers!
He is an independent consultant who has worked on dozens of Analytics (nee OBIEE) projects across Europe, specialising on very large implementations for very large companies. Adrian was the first blogger in Europe to talk about Siebel Analytics, and formed the UK's first Siebel Analytics consultancy, before Oracle bought the product and turned it into Oracle Business Intelligence.
He is based in Epsom, near London in the UK and has a family who all love to go sailing and skiing together. Adrian runs the weekly OBIEE newspaper, has a regular blog sharing the best of the Oracle BI community and technical blogs, runs an Oracle blogger database in Apex and loves to present on OAS/OBIEE technical matters at conferences.
