The Business Intelligence (BI) Developer Network or BIDN was created by Pragmatic Works to give back to the BI community on December 1st, 2009.
At Pragmatic Works, our goal and purpose is to democratize technology. Whether that be by starting the Pragmatic Works Foundation, to increase access to technology or by developing applications to increase the productivity of developers, each employee wakes up each morning focused on making technology easier and more accessible for everyone. Pragmatic Works is a privately held technology company headquartered in Jacksonville, FL. We also have a sales offices near Boston, MA and technology center in Atlanta, GA.
Looking to give back to the community or learn through teaching others? Anyone can post blogs by clicking Add Blog Post while you're logged in. Blogs are generally considered to be as small as a few paragraphs long and are written in a very casual manner.
If you have something more substantial to write more than a few pages, please consider writing a formal article. You can add an article by going to the article section and clicking Add An Article. If you write an article that's accepted, we pay you $25 through PayPal within 30 days of it being published. You won't get rich writing but it makes a great way to treat others to lunch while treating the community to your knowledge!
As the author, you retain copyright to your material and provide us perpetual use of your content. We ask that you don't re-post the content on another site for 30 days.
There are 5 levels of users on BIDN based on the level of contributing to the community and participation.
You can receive points from something as simple as voting on an article or blog to answering a question in the forums for a fellow member. Receive the most amount of points quickly by writing articles or blogs or having an answer that is marked as an answer.
