Business Intelligence and Databases

Business Intelligence, especially self-service BI is a top IT concern for world's CEOs at present. Project Botticelli specialises in several aspects of BI and we would like to help you plan and implement your strategy.

If you are interested in KPIs (Key Performance Indicators), Scorecards, and BI Dashboards we can help you plan and implement those. If you are just learning about columnar, in-memory analysis, we can help you understand Microsoft PowerPivot and its Data Analysis Expressions (DAX).

Data Mining and advanced knowledge discovery are other forms of powerful predictive analytics. Microsoft's TechNet Spotlight series used to host video recordings of our very successful 2007 Data Mining seminar which we delivered to over 5000 live audience attendees. However, as technologies had changed those videos became somewhat outdated and are no longer available from us or from Microsoft since they were removed in August 2010. We have plans to offer new videos based on current up-to-date technologies to help you learn Data Mining in 2011..

We also provide classical services in the area of database design, implementation, and optimisation. We have particular expertise in performance tuning of larger data centres and availability planning in clustered environments. We can also help you migrate to Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 from another system such as mySQL.

This year, we have delivered the Microsoft Business Intelligence Roadshow 2010 in 35 countries: Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Dubai, Egypt, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Jordan, Kuwait, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, United Kingdom, and United States. It has been a tremendous experience meeting some 7200 BI experts across those countries - thank you for attending.

We are now planning more educational Business Intelligence activities for 2010 and 2011. Visit this page in October 2010, or contact us today for more information on advanced training courses, roadshow-style seminars, and roundtable meetings which we will deliver in the next 12 months. We would love to hear from you about any specific requirements you may have or any suggestions you would like to share. Thank you.
