…Marcel Franke – Who I am…

I’m a consultant working for pmOne AG based in Germany (Europe) with around 10 years of experiences in building and designing Data Warehouse & Big Data solutions based on the Microsoft & Hadoop platform. 
As part of an Advisory & Research team I’m responsible for the area of Data Analytics & Data Science in Germany, Austria and Switzerland and we supports the largest Analytical projects in the German speaking area. In addition to that I regularly share me experiences on several conferences in Europe and on my blog.
My special focus is Data Warehouse, Big Data, Advanced Analytics, Prediction & Data Science, Cloud, SSIS, Scale-out and Performance Tuning.
You can find my profile also on:

So why did I start writing this blog? Well there are a lot of good blogs out there focusing on the pure technology like SQL Server, High Availability, SSIS, … But what I think is missing is a best practice and guidance oriented way on how to build solutions especially in the area of terabytes.
