Ok, so the unexpected happened - about a month and a half after interviewing Mr. Donald Farmer , I got to interview Mr. Amir Netz and Mr. Ariel Netz ! I know!... You probably remember Mr. Amir Netz from his appearance in the recent keynote session in the BI conference in New Orleans. He spoke about what's going to be new in PowerPivot. When I heard he was coming to Israel for a conference discussing Panorama and PowerPivot , I decided I'd try to get a few more tidbits from him... In the keynote...
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...
Office 2010 RTM - ed on the end of April. You probably heard already about PowerPivot and Excel 2010. And of course there's also SharePoint 2010 which has Excel Services, Visio Services, Access Services, PerformancePoint Services and PowerPivot integration.

A while ago, I saw Panorama was advertising a webcast detailing how Panorama gives a complete solution for the entire Microsoft BI platform , including PowerPivot . I have to admit, just seeing Panorama and PowerPivot in the same sentence seemed odd to me, as PowerPivot seemed like a completely full solution for its purpose. I didn't see what Panorama had to add to the equation. And so I began asking Panorama a few questions... So where does Panorama offer any added value? Well, if your organization...
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...
Just in case you haven’t heard of them till now, SQL Server Worldwide Users Group (or SSWUG ) hosts a great deal of information about all sorts of platforms – be it SQL Server, Oracle systems, MySQL etc. They also have a forum for your questions and a script library for your use. So why have I been talking on SSWUG? Because though they are hosting an event on PowerPivot (which I’ll talk about shortly), I think you should also consider them for additional information. And now – to PowerPivot ! You...
