Abstracts

Microsoft’s Vision for Business Intelligence:

There is no single product line from Microsoft that equates to the "Microsoft business Intelligence roadmap". Instead, Microsoft's vision for business intelligence is a combination of different product roadmaps. These include SQL Server, PerformancePointServer, Excel and Sharepoint. Microsoft is beginning to focus more and more energy toward increasing BI presence in Sharepoint, while SQL Server 2008 includes several key new features in Integration Services, Reporting Services, Analysis Services and the database engine which illustrate's Microsoft dedication to investing resources in business intelligence.

In this presentation, I will illustrate the latest Microsoft vision for business intelligence and speak about the "product stack" as a whole solution including PPS, MOSS & SQL Server applied to a number of different business intelligence solution areas.

SQL Server Reporting Services:
