• Learn to plan for the on-going maintenance and changing nature of BI projects and then their rapid expansion across the enterprise.
• Data without visualization is of limited value. In this course you will experience the terrific new report design interface Report Builder 3.0 and also the PerformancePoint Services one-click application Dashboard designer.
