Enterprise Data Management
for a data-driven world.
Cohesion: to bring meaning and purpose to technology
through human use. Here are the stories, notes, theories and
trials of life in the trenches of the dynamic high tech
explosion. Articles from veterans hope to bring efficiency where

After
years of yielding
data, I haven't seen much of either the past or future, to
some degree the present but not directly from the data.
We use data to conjure the near future, through
memories and records, forcasting, calculating, through these

is coming. Ask any Wall Street Analyst.
So if they are clues to the future, they must be magic .
