More about our Business Intelligence training

We reckon that you work in Business Intelligence or BI if your job involves interpreting large amounts of data to make business decisions.  Below is a summary of the BI courses that we offer. 

You can also create business intelligence tools using Excel, of course, or even by programming in SQL, C# or VBA.  Business intelligence is at the heart of virtually every training course that we run!

SQL Server BI Tools

The Microsoft BI world includes the following software applications for SQL Server:

Software

Notes

Integration Services

This allows you to extract data from a number of different formats, transform it and then load it into its final resting place (such as a data warehouse). 

Analysis Services

This comes in two flavours: multi-dimensional model SSAS used to allow you to build cubes, but for many years now tabular model SSAS has been the more modern variant. 

Reporting Services

This allows you to create reports and publish them to your corporate Intranet or to the wider Internet (we also train on the similar Report Builder reporting tool - you can see the differences here).

Other BI Tools

You can also create BI applications using Power BI:

Software

Notes

Power BI

The standalone Power BI package allows you to create beautiful dashboards by importing data from a variety of data sources and then visualising it on screen.

We also train in DAX, the formula language used by PowerPivot and Power BI (and by Analysis Services Tabular Model too, as it happens).  

10 things our courses include

Each of our scheduled courses (whether classroom or online) includes:

  1. Small course sizes - we have a maximum of 6 people on each classroom or online course.
  2. A trainer! And not just anyone - our courses are only ever given by full-time Wise Owls.
  3. Full colour courseware and exercises of oustanding quality.
  4. A no cancellation guarantee (once you've booked and confirmed your training course, it will run).
  5. A one gigabyte USB stick, containing course files, answers to exercises and (by the end of the course) your answers too, together with a nice pen.
  6. Unofficial help after the course (although we don't have a dedicated post-course support line, in practice trainers will be happy to answer the odd ad hoc question after a course has taken place).
  7. A certificate sent out digitally or in paper form (your choice) after each course, together with (for tailored courses) the trainer's thoughts on how the course went.

In addition, our classroom courses also include:

  1. A computer for each delegate (obviously).
  2. Lunch out each day at a local restaurant (chosen on the day of the course, after discussion!).
  3. Unlimited refreshments during the day, including Tassimo or Nespresso coffee and a range of biscuits and snacks to keep you going through those dark afternoon hours.
