Reason #11 To Attend TechDays–The Data Platform Content Area

We’ve revealed the keynotes, the Windows Client and Phone Track, the Developer Tools, Languages and Framework track, the Developer Practices & Architecture, and the Cloud Computing and Online Services track, but the one thing that all of these have in common is the need to access, store, and manipulate data. 

Organizations rely on IT to help ensure that corporate data is safe and secure allowing business continuity. The ability to gain insight from the mountains of data most organizations possess is also a key requirement for most IT departments. You will learn how to take advantage of the capabilities of current and upcoming releases of SQL Server, to help provide a secure well-managed data platform that easily extends to the Cloud to help enable unparalleled scalability for your organization. You will also learn how to take advantage of business intelligence tools built into SQL Server, as well as offered as an appliance, to help provide the key business insight that can allow an enterprise to make the right business decision with a solid data-based foundation. Developers will learn how to take advantage of the Microsoft Data Platform to create compelling business applications taking advantage of the capabilities of the current and upcoming releases of SQL Server.
