Introduction To Microsoft Business Intelligence
The next course on my list is Business Intelligence for Fiscal Year 09. Actually I find this course to be of less relevance to me personally and the role I have in our organisation, but since it’s a mandatory course, getting a better understanding of our Business Intelligence strategy including the value propositions provided by combining Performance Point, SQL and SharePoint is maybe not so bad after all. It could be handy to broaden my general view on how the services and products we deliver to our professional customers helps us and them to ‘make business’. Let’s give it a go and see what I end up learning.

This course provides an overview of the Microsoft Business Intelligence vision and strategy, and explains how to communicate that vision to customers. This course will help you to successfully describe how the Microsoft Business Intelligence solution benefits our enterprise customers.

The course starts with a welcome video by Jeff Rutherford who leads Worldwide BI Sales. This year business intelligence is once again rated as the top CIO spending priority and Microsoft poised to capitalize on our strong growth and market momentum to become the leading provider of BI solutions to the marketplace.
