Microsoft Business Intelligence Roadshow

תאריך: 19 ינואר, 2010 | מאת: Madeira

Business Intelligence is consistently rated at the top spot on many IT strategy surveys. Microsoft has built a broad, integrated, easy-to-use, and rich platform for delivering BI. This year the platform introduces comprehensive Master Data Management, and it showcases PowerPivot, an innovative and powerful self-service mechanism for data analysis. Microsoft tools and technologies continue to work in the way that you like: Excel-style for the user, Visual Studio-like for a developer, SSMS for database experts, and MMC-like for IT professionals.
We will examine an end-to-end approach to building and delivering a BI solution using the Microsoft BI platform. We will focus on Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 and Microsoft Office System 2010, in particular on PowerPivot, SharePoint2010 and PerformancePoint Services.

Session 1: The Big Picture of Business Intelligence: Goals, Concepts, and the Platform
This session will introduce the overall picture of Business Intelligence and will relate the Microsoft BI Platform to it. We will focus on the primary driver for Business Intelligence in 2010: Self-Service Analysis. You will gain an overall perspective on the direction Microsoft and related BI systems are taking over the next few years. Afterwards, new and existing technology will be outlined. Also, in this session, we will briefly review some fundamental BI concepts, such as Master Data Management, Data Warehousing, and Predictive Analysis

10:50-12:05
Session 2: The Knowledge Worker’s Perspective: Self-Service of BI
The most demanded and the fastest growing form of BI is the self-service, personal BI. This session will concentrate on how Office System 2010, in particular SharePoint 2010 and its PerformancePoint Services enable anyone to create and use BI in an organisation. We will also introduce the very new Microsoft PowerPivot stressing how existing Excel skills enable self-service analysis by intermediate and more advanced users. We will also mention other self-service aspects of BI, such as self-service reporting. This session will also discuss the IT Professional challenge of managing the life cycle of a potentially fast, organically growing BI system built by its users

12:05-12:45
Lunch

12:45-14:00
Session 3: The IT Perspective: Data Warehousing, Management, and Analytical Structures
This session aims to take a look at BI capabilities of the SQL Server 2008 R2. We will introduce Master Data Management and new approaches to massive Data Warehousing. We will look at the way in which SQL Server functions as part of the overall BI Platform. Naturally, the fundamental BI functions of SQL Server, such as Data Integration and OLAP will also be discussed in order to enable all attendees to start planning their BI infrastructure after attending this seminar

14:20-15:35
Session 4: The Analyst’s Perspective: Ad-hoc Analysis with Microsoft PowerPivot and Office 2010 Excel
Returning to the key theme of this seminar, the self-service nature of BI, we will dive deeper into the most exciting of the recent additions to the Microsoft BI platform, the Microsoft PowerPivot. We will look at the ways in which an analyst can use their existing knowledge of Excel to perform advanced analysis of large data sets, including their acquisition and later publication. Briefly, we will introduce a new language for analysis known as DAX which can help more advanced users create powerful analytical applications all inside Excel and PowerPivot. Finally, we will review the existing Data Mining technologies of SQL Server 2008 R2 thus completing the day’s thorough journey through the Microsoft BI Platform

15:35-15:50
Summary: Microsoft BI for Your Enterprise
