Designing a Reporting Solution Architecture for the Enterprise using Microsoft SQL Server 2005

The purpose of this course is to teach Business Intelligence (BI) professionals working in enterprise environments to design a reporting solution architecture that supports their BI solution. Students will go through the entire process-from identifying report data to promoting the reporting solution to production. Students will scale a reporting solution. Students will also be taught best practices for collaborating with application developers to integrate applications and reporting services. The course focuses on the planning and design aspects of a reporting solution and does not teach you how to create reports or how to use the development tools provided with SQL Server 2005. After completing this course, students will be able to: • Design a reporting solution. • Develop a reporting solution. • Collaborate with application developers to complete reporting and analytical interfaces. • Deploy and manage a Reporting Services solution. • Design security for a Reporting Services solution. • Optimize report execution performance.
