Nihad Aytaman

Aytaman is recognized for his work to deliver a near real-time data warehouse for high-end fashion retailer Elie Tahari. The IBM Cognos system runs on DB2 and is heavily used by finance, merchandising and sales. But because of the speed that comes with what Aytaman attributes to dimensional modeling, the same system is used by store personnel for size and location lookups for customers seeking an elusive item."
