BI Enhancement
With SQL Server 2012, Microsoft made many
enhancement and added new features for SSAS, SSIS and SSRS. Here we will
discuss few of them.
1. Sysprep for AS: With SQL Server 2012,
Microsoft has added the Sysprep for
Analysis Services.
The System Preparation (Sysprep) tool
prepares an installation of Windows for duplication, auditing,
and customer delivery.
Duplication, also called imaging, enables you to
capture a customized Windows image that you can reuse throughout an
organization.
2. PowerPivot Enhancement: The key changes to PowerPivot for SharePoint in SQL
Server 2012 provide you with a more straightforward installation and
configuration process and a wider range of tools for managing the server
environment.
These changes should help you get your server up and
running quickly and keep it running smoothly as usage increases over time.
3. Alerting: Reporting
Services data alerts are a data driven alerting solution that helps you be
informed about report data that is interesting or important to you, and at a
relevant time.
By using data alerts you no longer have to seek out
information, it comes to you. Data alert messages are sent by email.
Depending on the importance of the information, you
can choose to send messages more or less frequently and only when results
change.
You can specify multiple email recipients and this
way keep others informed to enhance efficiency and collaboration.
4. Unified Semantic Model: This is
replacing the Analysis Services Unified
Dimensional Model (or cubes most
people referred to them). It's a hybrid model that allows one data model will
support all BI experiences in SQL Server.
Additionally,
this will allow for some really neat text infographics.
5. PowerView: Power View (formerly code-named Crescent)
is a graphical data navigation and visualization tool that enables end-user
reporting.
Power
View provides a report designer that lets users take elements from a semantic
data model that's constructed by IT and use them to create powerful interactive
reports that can be embedded in .NET applications or published to SharePoint.
