SharePoint 2010 (
RSS)
This is a live post from the session of Asaf Bar and Erez Avital at Tech Ed Israel 2010 . SharePoint 2010 enables us getting a BI solution with a workflow, social computing and an office integrated solution. Tools for BI in SharePoint 2010: PerformancePoint (is the main tool for BI in SharePoint) Excel Services PowerPivot Visio Services SQL Reporting Services We can use Lync to connect to the employees in the workplace directly from the SharePoint Dashboard. We can add a comment to the values in...
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...
Mr. Amir Netz , Distinguished Engineer at Microsoft, came to lecture about Self - Service BI and Panorama, along with Kobi Averbuch , VP of R&D at Panorama . These are a few of the major points in their lecture: PowerPivot IT cannot meet all demands. People will try to find a solution themselves. We need a technology to bridge the gap. How to build a PowerPivot application We start by installing the PowerPivot add - in. PowerPivot runs in - memory using the Vertipaq engine that ensures quick...
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...
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. Still, that doesn't make for the entire BI scope in Office 2010. I have just recently learned that there are BI capabilities in Project Server 2010 . Going deeper I have learned that there were already such capabilities in Project Server...
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...
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...
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...
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...
