I was employed by EV Technologies from June 2012 to June 2021. In 2020, the company rebranded and refocused as VedaPointe. During my time at EV Technologies, I authored numerous articles on SAP BusinessObjects that are no longer available on the original site; however, copies appear on this page courtesy of the Internet Archive Wayback Machine. My more recent writing can be found on this blog and on my Writing page.

Diversified Semantic Layer podcast
The Diversified Semantic Layer podcast ran from December 2010 into the mid‑2010s. It was hosted by Eric Vallo, Greg Myers, and Jamie Oswald. The series featured BI and analytics professionals discussing semantic layers, mobile BI, and SAP BusinessObjects. Expert guests shared practical insights and real-world challenges. Lively conversations made the show a valuable resource for data-driven professionals. I was a guest contributor on several episodes.
