Business Intelligence Certification

[KH75]

Hi
It is much appreciated that can someone tell me about

1) What is the market value of business intelligence now-a-days
2) Is it worth while doing it or not ?

Which BI Cert is better for me?
70-448 MCTS: SQL Server 2008, Business Intelligence
70-452 MCITP: SQL Server 2008, Business Intelligence

BI is all the rage at the moment. Businesses have terabytes of data that need to be converted into valuable information.

If you have 1-2 years of experience then you'll want to look towards the 70-448. If you have 3-5 years of experience then you'll want to look at the 70-452.

Keep in mind that taking the 70-552 (MCITP exam) doesn't give you anything unless you have already taken the 70-448 exam (MCTS). Conversely, if you start with the 70-448 (MCTS) you should plan or working towrds the 70-552 (MCITP).

If you go to

you can see what the hierarchy looks like for Microsoft certifications. The MCITP is a higher tier certification that incorporates one or more MCTS certifications that must be achieved first.
