Introduction to DQS and MDS

  • Artikkeli

Recently I delivered the Business Intelligence Practice Accelerator for our esteemed partners. During the sessions I realized there was a dearth of information around DQS and LDS which is subsequently leading to diminished usage of the tools. Thats when I decided to collate a few resources and post it for the benefit of all. I must say it was easy to locate resouces owing to a wonderful post by Matt Masson.

This if you’re looking to get started with Data Quality Services (DQS) and Master Data Services (MDS), please leverage these fantastic resources available on Technet. The site includes videos and slides for full day training sessions on both products.
