If you're following this blog, then you know that Sunday, May 30 th 2010, I went to the SQL & BI Data Platform convention held in Tel Aviv. Specifically, I went to Mr. Donald Farmer 's seminar on Data Integration in Large Organizations . I did live blogging from most of the event, though actually, I didn't manage to blog about the last part of it, because I was preparing for something that was pretty big for me.... I'll start over. When I first heard Mr. Farmer was coming to lecture...
This is live blogging from the Donald Farmer seminar from the SQL & BI convention in Tel Aviv. I would really like to thank Hamada who lent me his netstick so I can blog - Thanks Hamada! Business Intelligence is about people not about IT. Your data is always connected to real world and in direct connection to it. It's important to know your business for you to design a good Decision Support system. BI has always been in the middle of the spectrum - tactical decisions. CEO and operational...
I knew from Russell Christopher's blog that Microsoft All UP BI Demo version 9.2 was released to partners , but as I'm not a registered partner, that didn't help me much... So I was delighted to discover today from the RDA blog that "Microsoft has configured a remote server for general public to get hands on experience with this new BI version 9.2 solution" - so yes, you can take that baby off for a spin! You need to register to the site first, run a .exe to enable the ActiveX...
ב Reporting Services 2008 R2 הדוח שלנו יכול להפוך ל data source בפני עצמו מאחר וכעת ניתן להתחבר אליו ב PowerPivot דרך ה Atom data feed. הכוונה היא להציע את PowerPivot בחינם מתוך רצון שיעודד את הלקוחות לקנות רשיון ל SharePoint 2010. PowerPivot מהווה סוג של mid tier בין Excel Services ל AS Engine מבחינת ה SharePoint. שילוב ה PowerPivot עם SharePoint 2010 מאפשרת ניהול שלהם בקלות - זיהוי דוחות ה PowerPivot הכבדים ביותר מבחינת דרישות המשאבים שלהם וזיהוי רמת התכיפות בה משתמשים בקבצים השונים. ניתן כך להזהות...
Self Service BI ב Excel 2010 מתבטא במספר אופנים: שילוב SSAS מחוונים ויזואליים חדשים פילטור מתקדם Data mining PowerPivot (כולל שפת התכנות החדשה של DAX) אקסל גם משולב באופן אינטגרלי עם SharePoint 2010. Excel Services מאפשר לנו ניהול של אפליקציות האקסל מבחינת הרשאות, Workflow ארגוני והקצאת משאבים. בהערת אגב, מציין גם מר לוקוויקי כי ה thin client מאפשר למיקרוסופט גם להתחרות ב Google docs. השימוש באקסל דרך Excel Services מאפשר לעשות את מרבית הפעולות שאפשר לעשות על אקסל בדסקטופ המקומי. לעיתים, אנחנו מתחילים...
החלטתי לנסות היום לעשות משהו שלא עשיתי מעולם... לייב בלוגינג! נתחיל בשידורי החסות - השידורים היום באים אליכם בעזרת הלפטופ של אח שלי (תודה עדלי ) והנטסטיק של הבוס שלי (תודה חמאדה) :) השידורים מגיעים אליכם ישירות מיום ההרצאות של רפל לוקוויקי במשרדי מיקרוסופט רעננה בנושא Microsoft Business Intelligence Roadshow . אם אתם לא כאן... אז כנראה שאתם במשרד. אבל אם אתם כן כאן – תגידו שלום! ההרצאה הראשונה בינה עסקית: מטרות, מושגים והפלטפורמה מציגה ראשית כל את החידושים ב PerformancePoint 2010 שמכיל בין היתר תכונות...
Via Dan English ’s blog, I’ve learned that Pass is offering a day of BI webinars for free ! The Pass Convention itself is scheduled for November in Seattle. As this year there will no dedicated BI conference from Microsoft , Pass is the conference for you to get updated on all your BI needs. This is also why I was very happy to hear they’re also offering a day of free sessions with very well known speakers. The sessions are mostly SQL Server 2008 oriented, but I believe you’ll find more than enough...
Well apparently, you can miss out on a lot of things during a two weeks vacation. Luckily I came back in time to see SP3 Beta for SQL Server 2005 get released! But I'll talk about that in a bit... The announcement of Project Gemini in SQL Server 2010 sparked a very heated debate in the BI Community, over how much it might be abused by users as an alternative to an organized DW \ OLAP solution. The discussion did not go unnoticed by Microsoft . I guess I can only sum up by saying that we'll...
The Microsoft BI Conference 2008 has been the source for quite a few announcements. First of all, now that DATAllegro was purchased by Microsoft, the talk is about SQL Server handling bigger amounts of data. There have been posts not just about terabyte projects, but also petabyte projects. The full integration of DATAllegro's technology into SQL Server is planned for the first half of calendar year 2010 and is code named Project Madison. SQL Server 2010 itself is code named Project Kilimanjaro...
Well I guess the future is really up in the cloud... The last strategic move for Panorama is joining Google and offering a BI Analytics tool to work with Google Docs - PowerApps . But that's old news by now. GoodData has recently gotten funding for their BI in the cloud , giving you a complete platform for storing and analyzing your data. Business Objects offers "OnDemand" another platform that enables you to share Crystal Reports over the web. The list goes on , with other companies...
I came across two very interesting web sites lately, both of which are a great source for good webcasts. The first site is Learn Microsoft BI which has all sorts of video on BI projects and how to develop them using SSAS. There has actually just been a first video on PerformancePoint Server as well. The site requires registration, but is well worth it. The other site is SQL Server Videos which targets more DBAs and developers. Having done just a few webcasts and knowing how much work goes into it...
This week, I had the great pleasure of going to the 19th Annual Regional Conference which Gartner was holding in Tel Aviv. The subject was “ Driving Profits and Performance with ICT ”. I really wanted to share with you what fascinated me most there, a lecture about BI Governance from Andreas Bitterer - Research Vice President Data Management and Integration, Business Intelligence. Business Intelligence Governance When an organization decides to implement a BI solution, it often faces the following...

I know this means I'm quite late writing about it, but I only came about to learn about this Visual Studio.Net add-in quite recently and I wanted to study it for a bit before writing about it. The BIDS Helper is an excellent extension to the BI Development Studio which comes with SQL Server 2005. Though my main uses for it are for the SSAS part of my BI project, the newly released version also has features for SSIS. Among other features for SSAS, the BIDS Helper enables you to: Validate aggregations...
