Description

Written and presented by industry experts, this intensive five-day workshop gives professional developers the information and hands-on experience they need to deliver state-of-the-art, integrated reporting and analytics solutions using Microsoft Business Intelligence.

Delivering the right information in the right format at the right time to all users in the organization-that is Microsoft's Business Intelligence (BI) strategy and vision for enterprise information management. Microsoft's integrated BI tools enable developers to create effective solutions that information workers use every day to find meaningful patterns in the vast sea of data they collect and to use that insight to quickly respond to changing business conditions.

After this workshop, attendees will be able to position different types of business intelligence solutions, from enterprise data warehousing to data marts to real-time operational reporting and analytics. Attendees will learn how to design and build powerful integrated solutions that provide users with rich reporting, analysis, visualization and performance management capabilities by targeting operational data from an existing line-of-business application using the Microsoft Business Intelligence platform.

Attendees will work through 25 practical hands-on labs to build a complete BI solution by the end of the workshop.

Course Summary

During this 5-day course, you will learn about integrating Integration Services, Analysis Services and Reporting Services to build a business intelligence solution. When you complete this course, you will understand how to design, develop, deploy, and operate a business intelligence solution that integrates data from an On-Line Transactional Processing (OLTP) into a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube and delivers reports to business users.
