TRAINING COURSE OVERVIEW

Our Microsoft Business Intelligence (BI) 2016 training course is built around data modelling with SQL Server Reporting Services and cloud/desktop Power BI and then we cover data warehousing and cube design with SQL Server Analysis Services

The Business Intelligence course covers the discovery and preparation of data, the modelling of the data, and the presentation of the data in insightful and attractive reports and dashboards.

We initially look at SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) and visualisation tools such as Power BI – when you return to the office, you will easily be able to create wonderful and informative reports and dashboards. The latter part of the course is spent on data warehousing and cube design with the modelling tools within SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) and with a little help from Integration Services (SSIS).

Both SSAS multidimensional and tabular models are covered – these are the power houses that drive your reports and dashboards.

AUDIENCE

This course is aimed at data developers and those who need to load, import, transform, build and maintain data models, as well as build interactive reports which empower businesses and colleagues to harness the growing amount of data being produced by the business systems and Internet of Things (IoT). Some basic SQL skills would be an advantage.
