Microsoft has a wide range of offerings in the business intelligence space and it can take a lot of work to figure out how they all fit together. The Pragmatic Works BI Boot Camp will walk you through a week of hands on activities that show exactly how each piece of the BI stack works. I will be teaching the class for all 5 days. We will start each day around 8:30 and wrap up between 4:30 and 5:00. We have developed hands on labs to do throughout the day. So as we discuss a topic, like loading a dimension, you will have a lab to help reinforce the information we just discussed. By doing short, focused modules followed by labs, we have found students retain much more information and are better equipped to apply the new skills back in the workplace. You will also be able to take the final solution and step by step lab material with you for reference. Our goal is to leverage our experiences as consultants to provide the best possible training.
