Smart Business Intelligence Solutions with Microsoft SQL Server 2008

By Doug Holland (Intel) (249 posts) on February 28, 2009 at 11:05 pm

While attending the MSDN Conference on Monday last week I decided to switch tracks for the last session and listened into the SQL Data Services presentation by Lynn Langit (socaldevgal).

Beyond being an excellent session on SQL Data Services, Lynn gave away three copies of her recently published book, Smart Business Intelligence Solutions with Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008. I was lucky enough to get one and began reading it tonight.

Almost all software developers and architects are familiar with database design principles to some degree although how many of us really have a solid understanding of Business Intelligence applications using OLAP cubes?

In this economy effective Business Intelligence is more critical than ever and could even determine whether some companies are able to survive. At the very least BI can determine if projects are successful or not and that is why more developers and architects should take the time to learn what BI is and how to achieve it using SQL Server 2008.
