## Introducing Trevor
64+
65+
Trevor has been developing software for over 20 years and has deep knowledge of
66+
ODBC and JDBC drivers for databases. He tells us more about his experience and
67+
how he came to learn about Trino.
68+
69+
## More about insightsoftware
70+
71+
We untangle the long history of Simba, Logi Symphony, and insigtsoftware with
72+
the Trino project to the current status, before we dive into the technical
73+
details.
74+
75+
## ODBC and JDBC
76+
77+
After talking a bit about Trino, Iceberg, data lakes and related topics, we get
78+
into the details about Simba Trino data connectivity with the ODBC and JDBC
79+
drivers.
80+
81+
## Demo
82+
83+
Trevor shows us how you can use the ODBC driver to query Trino catalogs from
84+
Microsoft Excel, which arguably the most widely used reporting and analytics
85+
tool, despite really being a spreadsheet application. After that demo he moves
86+
on to some business intelligence analytics with PowerBI.
