Microsoft Business Intelligence (MSBI)

( Duration: 6 Days )

In MS Business Intelligence (MSBI) training course, you will dive into Designing an ETL Solution Architecture Using MS SQL Server Integration Services and Implementing and Maintaining MS SQL Server Integration Services. This course covers Design and Analysis Solution Architecture Using MS SQL Server Analysis Services and Implement and Maintain MS SQL Server Analysis Services. You will expand your knowledge on MDX Queries and learn to create complex reports employing expressions, global collections, and conditional formatting using SQL Server Reporting Services. MSBI course consists of all real time tasks which arise in day to day activities.

By attending MS Business Intelligence (MSBI) workshop, delegates will learn to:

  • Understand the structure of a Business Intelligence Solution, including multi-dimensional database models and the role of data transforms and data analytics
  • Design and implement data transformation solutions to populate data-marts and data-warehouses using SSIS
  • Define business dimensions, measures, hierarchies, members and KPIs in BIDS using SSAS
  • Build custom reporting solutions using SSRS

COURSE AGENDA
