COURSE DESCRIPTION
With SQL Server 2005, Microsoft provides a complete suite of tools for you to build data
warehouse and business intelligence systems using software from a single vendor. Thiscourse prepares you to deal with the many facets of developing, deploying, operating and
growing a Microsoft data warehouse system.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
This lecture and demo course will provide you a detailed technical introduction to building
a Microsoft data warehouse / business intelligence system that meets the needs of your
business users. The course will provide Microsoft-specific detailed guidance for working
through the data warehouse lifecycle, from requirements gathering and design through the
ETL system, relational data warehouse, OLAP and data mining applications, to reportingand other BI applications. You will discuss issues around deploying, operating, and
securing the Microsoft data warehouse system.
The focus of the course is architectural: how should you design the components of the
system. We expect our students to be able to read documentation and follow Microsofts
generally straightforward user interfaces. Our goal is to teach you the hard stuff: not which
button to push, but how to design and build a successful Microsoft DW/BI system. The
pace of the course permits only demos by the instructor; do not expect hands-on tutorials
during class time.
PREREQUISITES
Students must understand dimensional modeling. This course supplements, rather than
replaces, the material in other KU courses. Whether or not youve attended one of our
KU courses, be sure to review the key dimensional design concepts prior to attending this
class.
