During the last year, we (Tellago) have been involved in various business intelligence initiatives that leverage some emerging BI techniques such as self-service BI or complex event processing (CEP). Specifically, in the last few months, we have partnered with Microsoft to deliver a series of events across the country where we present the different technologies of the
SQL Server 2008 R2 BI stack such as PowerPivot, StreamInsight, Ad-Hoc Reporting and Master Data Services. As part of those events, we try to go beyond the traditional technology presentation and provide a series of best practices and lessons we have learned on real world BI projects that leverage these technologies.
Now that
SQL Server 2008 R2 has been released to manufacturing, we have launched a series of quick adoption programs that are designed to help customers understand how they can embrace the newest additions to Microsoft's BI stack as part of their IT initiatives. The programs are also designed to help customers understand how the new
SQL Server features interact with established technologies such as
SQL Server Analysis Services or
SQL Server Integration Services. We try to keep these adoption programs very practical by doing a lot of prototyping and design sessions that will give our customers a practical glimpse of the capabilities of the technologies and how they can fit in their enterprise architecture roadmap.
Here is our official announcement (you can blame my business partner, BI enthusiast, and Tellago's CEO Elizabeth Redding
for the marketing pitch ;)):
Tellago Marks Microsoft's
SQL Server 2008 R2 Launch With
Business Intelligence Quick Adoption Program
Microsoft launched
SQL Server 2008 R2 last week, which delivers several breakthrough business intelligence (BI) capabilities that enable organizations to:
Efficiently process, analyze and mine data
Improve IT and developer efficiency
Enable highly scalable and well-managed Business Intelligence on a self-service basis
for business users
The release offers a new feature called PowerPivot, which enables self service BI through connecting business users directly to enterprise data sources and providing improved reporting and analytics.
The release also offers Master Data Management which helps enterprises centrally manage critical data assets company-wide and across diverse systems, enabling increased integrity of information over time.
Finally, the release includes StreamInsight, which is a framework
for implementing Complex Event Processing (CEP) applications on the Microsoft platform. With StreamInsight, IT organizations can implement the infrastructure to process a large volume of events near real time, execute continuous queries against event streams and enable real time business intelligence.
As a thought leader in the Business Intelligence community, Tellago has recognized the occasion by launching a series of quick adoption programs to enable the adoption of this new BI technology stack in your enterprise.
Our Quick Adoption programs are designed to help you:
Brainstorm BI solution options
Architect initial infrastructure components
Prototype key features of a solution
As a 2-3 day program, our approach is more efficient and cost effective than a traditional Proof of Concept because it allows you to understand the new
SQL Server 2008 R2 feature set while seeing directly how you can leverage it
for your business intelligence needs.
If you are interested in learning more about the BI capabilities of Microsoft's Business Intelligence stack, including
SQL Server 2008 R2, we can help. As industry experts and software content advisers to Microsoft, Tellago is the place where ideas meet technology expertise.
Let us help you see
for yourself the advantages that you can gain from Microsoft's
SQL Server 2008 R2.
