Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS)

This course will transform you into an expert in harnessing the full power of Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) by seamlessly integrating its two robust engines within your organization’s infrastructure. Analysis Services encompasses two potent applications – VertiPaq and Data Mining for multidimensional cubes, as well as xVelocity for Tabular Data Models. These capabilities enable you to construct enterprise-level semantic data models, empowering the creation of sophisticated business intelligence systems like Power BI, Excel Reporting Services, and various data visualization tools, ultimately enhancing your organization’s overall success.

Analysis Services comprises two analytical engines:

VertiPaq for multidimensional cubes and Data Mining, along with xVelocity for Tabular Data Models. These engines are integral to decision support and business analytics, offering enterprise-grade semantic data modeling capabilities for a wide range of business intelligence, data analysis, and reporting applications. Notably, they support tools like Power BI, Excel, Reporting Services, and various data visualization platforms. This comprehensive course provides an in-depth introduction to effectively utilize both of these engines in a corporate environment.

In addition to the two main components, this course also explores Data Mining, a form of Machine Learning that involves analyzing large datasets to uncover concealed patterns and trends. You will learn how to create Data Mining solutions, conduct comparisons and validations of different data mining models for specific datasets, and implement your chosen model in a user-friendly manner, enhancing your analytical capabilities.
