Microsoft Business Intelligence
- Thread starter omarmtz
- Start date
Microsoft's Business Intelligence tools come from a number of diffrent applications of which MS Olap/Analysis Services is 1 component. Yes Analysis Services is Made available with SQL server, but Excel is another Component in Microsoft's BI offering. Other applications that are offered as BI tools are Sql Server Accelerator for Business Intelligence (I won't express any opinions on this app), and Data Analyzer. Later this year SQL Reports will be offered as another BI component, and When the next version of SQL is released there will probably be a number of other BI related components.
Microsoft like many other vendors don't view Business Intelligence as single product, but rather a solution to a problem that is comprised of many components that can be mixed and matched to suit the needs of the company.
