I posted about Kalido Business Information Modeler back in February, but now it's gone GA and Philip Howard reviews it at IT-Director. He is pretty enthusiastic and says "everyone should have Kalido Dynamic Information Warehouse and they should certainly have Universal Information Director and Business Information Modeler too."
The only negative he comes up with is "the relatively limited number of platforms that Kalido's software runs on: one would like to see it on Netezza for example, or Teradata".

Active Metadata
Yesterday I moaned about poor use of metadata. Today I'd like to point to an example of the way metadata can be used actively. Andy Hayler describes Kalido's Business Information Modeller, which allows you actively to control and when necessary reshape the data warehouse by changing metadata; you can generate a BO universe, or deploy metadata to Cognos BI tools (more to come, apparently). You can (apparently) even undo the metadata changes, and see your warehouse as it would have been; kind of like Oracle's flashback recovery, but for data warehouse structures.

Kalido in a box?
Bloor's Philip Howard writes in IT-Director.com that Kalido gets a competitor.
The problem Kalido addresses is dealing with change in a datawarehouse; for nearly 10 years Kalido has been the only company trying to The new kid on the block aiming to manage changing/evolving business models without having to completely rebuild your datawarehouse is BIReady, a small Dutch company (hmm, Kalido came out of Royal Dutch Shell ... do those Netherlanders know something we don't?) which claims to deliver 'fully model driven' data warehouse with support for history of change.
This is an area which has traditionally been dealt with by large numbers of staff and consultants. Kalido has managed to make some sales in large multi-national companies who value the benefits of managing not just evolving models, but multiple concurrently active models. BIReady looks too small to bite off these very large organisations (like Shell, Unilever etc) - but they may help to commoditise this part of the DW market, and perhaps make people think about model-driven warehousing further down the food chain.
One to watch.
