There is a funny word in my native Czech language which I like a lot - “kurvítko” (kur-veet-ko; loose translation: “screwed-up component”). Although colloquial and a bit vulgar, to me it has the same meaning as what would otherwise take me a long time to explain.

An excellent article entitled “Modular PL/SQL Application” describes the dividing of the banking system into modules (the reasons why and the methods how) and explains the dependencies between the modules. In certain cases, we have come across a requirement to implement a certain function using various methods according to parameterization.

We are developing DWH solution, core is technologically based on the Oracle database server platform and datamarts on the Vertica platform.

Most companies today want or are even obliged to show their work and report their statistics. Thanks to its innovative, progressive and well-designed software, we chose to use Tableau for reporting concerning our products.
