Jamie Oswald

Jamie Oswald started working in business intelligence over 10 years ago and hasn't been able to break away since. Largely due to a lack of oversight in the selection process Jamie has been chosen as an SAP Mentor and ASUG BusinessObjects Ambassador. When not working at Arch Coal, Inc. or for the Diversified Semantic Layer podcast (available on iTunes!), Jamie spends his time adoring his wife, alternately being amazed and flummoxed by his children, and torturing himself as a fan of Cleveland sports. |

He has had a career which has spanned Fortune 50 and 500 companies, as well as small businesses, working in telecommunications, finance, health care, and government. After a number of years as an application developer, he moved into architecture and leadership roles, which has afforded the opportunity to work with many different teams at different levels, creating business intelligence solutions for tens of thousands of users. Most recently, Eric has formed a new company, EV Technologies, Inc., with a focus on Business Objects SDK integrated products and business intelligence consulting. Recent accomplishments include the release of EV Technologies second major release of Sherlock, SAP certification of Sherlock, and the recent partnership announcement with SAP.
