Books by Michael Phillips

Michael Phillips has worked with TIBCO Spotfire on a daily basis for the past 3 years, designing and building solutions for complex clinical informatics challenges. He has a strong mix of scientific, business, and technical experience. Having gained a PhD in biochemistry, Michael worked as a general science and medicine editor for 10 years, and also as an IT manager for 15 years, specializing over time in business intelligence (almost 10 years now). He currently works as a clinical informatics product manager in a dedicated innovation team at ICON plc, a large global clinical research organization with a very strong product offering in clinical informatics. His work spans a comprehensive range of activities from business, commercial, and scientific analysis and strategy right through to the technical work of building solutions in Spotfire. He has a passion for business intelligence, particularly data visualization and self-service data exploration. Although his IT experience is wide-ranging and he is very comfortable with technology, he retains a strong business focus and believes that self-service informatics is a difficult but absolutely essential challenge in today's culture of 'big data' and information on demand.
