This year I’ll deliver the “&lt;a href="http://sqlpass.eventpoint.com/topic/details/TF1588"&gt;Creating BI Solution from A to Z&lt;/a&gt;” seminar in which, as the title implies, attendees will see how to create a BI solution starting from scratch. Going through the dimensional modeling and the creation of the Datawarehouse, the implementation of the ETL process with SSIS, the creation of cube with Analysis Services and reports with Reporting Services with, if time permits, also a glance at PowerPivot, attendees will get a solid ground on the whole process that drives the creation of a BI solution.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The workshop will also show all the best practices and the best methodological approach matured in more than 5 years of working in the BI field.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;If you’ll be working on BI or you already have a created an initial BI solution and you want to be sure you’re following the right path, this is workshop is for you!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Don’t miss it!&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
