Powering Business Intelligence project delivery with PowerShell - Jennifer Stirrup
So often, due to pressures of busy working environments, aspects
of the Business Intelligence development lifecycle get missed out, resulting in
wrong reports, wrong data, and wrong business decisions. SharePoint offers a
variety of new ways to provision Business Intelligence throughout the
organisation, which in turn will require Business Intelligence developers to
work smarter in order to meet the business thirst for data! Fortunately,
PowerShell can help to smooth the path for the business intelligence developer.
Using examples, this session will show how PowerShell can help Business
Intelligence developers too
