Momentum Webcast: Unlocking the Business Intelligence Capabilities of SQL Server (Level 100)  

Did you know that Microsoft SQL Server enables you to centrally control security, access to, and organization of your data - giving users the ability to access production reports or perform interactive analysis directly in Microsoft Office Excel? As you are constantly challenged to do more with less, you must squeeze as much value as possible from existing investments in technology infrastructure. In this webcast, we show you how to leverage your existing SQL Server investment to unlock the often overlooked, built-in Business Intelligence (BI) capabilities and help improve the operational and financial performance of your organization.
Microsoft BI offers the only complete, fully-integrated set of BI technologies that can help make building, managing, and using BI less complicated. Building a Microsoft BI solution is a matter of applying existing tools-such as the Microsoft Office system or SQL Server-and using your current technology assets. The result is that your organization can have the full advantages of a complete set of BI capabilities.
In this session we cover:

• BI architecture, from data collection to customer delivery.
• SQL Server Reporting Services for production reporting.
• SQL Server Analysis Services for self-service analytic reporting.
• SQL Server Data Mining for predictive analytics.
• End user information delivery options.
