The Tao of Qi - OSIsoft's New Martial Art
Keanu Reeves starred in the movie 'Man of Tai Chi'. Our multiple All-Star vCampus/DevClub member Rhys Kirk has his own movie being filmed titled 'Man of Tie Qi' - an in depth look at how he studied the art of OSIsoft Qi (pronounce ‘Chee’) and used his new skills to develop new product ideas for his new company TGG (The Genius Group). The movie sees the handsome lead developer studying OSIsoft Qi in a remote, rural village in the farthest reaches of the UK, tackling his nemesis 'depth indexed data' and single-handedly saving the 'complex data types' from the clutches of the 'Relational Databases'. This is a must see movie for an insight on how you too can learn the art of OSIsoft Qi. Prepare to have your eyes opened to a new way of thinking about storing your data!
