Konsta Weber Takes DSharp International

Konsta Weber joins DSharp

On the 1st of August I started my mission to take DSharp international. In the first week I contacted our first international partner candidates and updated the internationalization plan. It became clear for me that my decision to join DSharp in its Data Warehouse Automation quest was the right thing to do.

Today all successful companies and organizations are also IT companies. Leading companies need information and insights to thrive. Huge amounts of business data and information has to be collected, merged, refined, enriched, simplified etc. in order to create real value for the decision makers at several levels in the organization. Refined business data should easily be visualized into reports, dashboards and charts. The business users and decision makers get the actuals, forecasts and simulations in their own language and format. The data market is growing rapidly and DSharp is in the core of it.

But just a great company was not enough to get me involved. A great team is a must. My colleagues at DSharp Tero-Matti, Sonja, Kim, Yngve and our lead investor Mika are all seasoned professionals in their fields. The first week was fun and we already got some stuff done.

My deep dive into the world of Data Vault 2.0, Data Warehouse Automation, Data Lakes, Data Lakehouses, DataOps, LowCode and other Data Platform Technologies has been intensive and enlightening. It feels good to continue diving.

I’m looking forward to meeting all of you.  Get in touch: +358 40 820 4983 or konsta.weber@dsharp.fi or drop in our office for a coffee.

Yours truly,

Konsta Weber

New And Upcoming Things (incl Summer)

Version 3.1 of D♯ Engine is out! It completely redefines how to use model based automation to implement the Business Model! Just use a simple dot-notation path to traverse the model in order to reference classes, associations and attributes. Not having to write or even think about SQL joins was never this fun, and the job still gets done!

With new features come new opportunities to spread the word about them. Starting September, we will be offering more courses with new content, so that you can squeeze even more productivity out of D♯ Engine!

First, however, summer! And specifically: have a nice one!

Cheers,

Kim

D♯ Major Third With the Second Button Is Here!

After launching version 2.7 in January, we have been working hard implementing and testing important new capabilities, and we are now launching version 3.0 of D♯ Engine.

We have rewritten the core of the target platform handling mechanism, adding the possibility to define new target database platforms. Those changes have made it possible to add support for our first Open Source target platform, PostgreSQL! Just set the target platform to PostgreSQL in the user interface and D♯ Engine does the rest. The exact same model and mappings can be used without any changes to generate the solution on each supported platform, like Azure SQL Database or the on-premise platforms SQL Server and PostgreSQL. Migrating from one database platform to another has never been easier!

We also changed the name of the software to clarify the message that the D♯ methodology and the D♯ software integrate tightly. From version 3.0 onwards the former SmartEngine will be called D♯ Engine! Let the search for a new nickname begin! All relevant written material will be updated in due time.

There are also other new features and improvements, detailed in the Release notes, available here for D♯ Community members.

Please contact sales to arrange a call, seminar or demo. Also note that the Intro Course on June 8:th will be using the 3.0 version.
