| Abstract: |
In this full-day workshop, you'll learn from the author
team of Mike Davis, Adam Jorgensen, Devin Knight, and Patrick LeBlanc
how to build a data warehouse for your company and support it with the
Microsoft business intelligence platform. We'll start with how to design
and data model a data warehouse including the system preparation. Then,
we'll jump into loading a data warehouse with SSIS. After SSIS, you're
ready to roll the data up and provide the slice and dice reporting with
SSAS. The team will walk through cube development and data enrichment
with things like key performance indicators, which are essential for
your future dashboards. Lastly, we will cover how to report against the
data warehouse with SSRS including a primer in how to write MDX queries
against the SSAS cube. |
