#MITXData 2014 - Leveraging Self-Service Business Intelligence to Drive Marke...MITX
2014 MITX Data & Analytics Summit
"Leveraging Self-Service Business Intelligence to Drive Marketing Analytics & Insight"
Speaker: Carmen Taglienti (@carmtag), Business Intelligence & Data Management Practice Lead, Slalom Consulting
Advancements in the BI technology ecosystem and the application of these capabilities to marketing analytics has enabled better, faster, and more accurate insight. In addition to the advancements in technology, marketing organizations look to embrace analytics and put the tools that support them into the hands of the decision makers in a “self-service” way. Typically organizations adopt analytics (and the supporting technology) across the enterprise according to the principles of "the analytics driven organization." This session will introduce an Analytics Maturity model that enables an analytics-driven marketing organization to assess current proficiencies, and understand the capabilities required to achieve its desired state of analytics maturity. This discussion will also cover the alignment of technology solutions at the various levels of the Analytics Maturity model, as well as the drive toward “self-service,” easy to use analytics. Finally, the presenter will demonstrate the use of real-time data acquisition and analytics to drive marketing insight.

Speaker: Becky Smith
Organisation: Denodo
About: How many users inside and outside of your organization access your organization’s data? Dozens? Hundreds is probably more like it, each with their own structure and content requirements as well as different access rights. As a result, many organizations have witnessed the formation of “data delivery mills,” in various shapes and sizes. How does one create order and reliability in this world of chaotic data streams? Quite easily, if it’s done with data virtualization.
According to Gartner, "through 2020, 50% of enterprises will implement some form of data virtualization as one enterprise production option for data integration.” Data virtualization enables organizations to gain data insights from multiple, distributed data sources without the time-consuming processes of data extraction and loading. This allows for faster insights and fact-based decisions, which help business realize value sooner.
Join us to find out more about:
• What data virtualization actually means and how it differs from traditional data integration approaches.
• How you can connect and combine all your data in real-time, without compromising on scalability, security or governance.
• The benefits of data virtualization and its most important use cases.
During this Big Data Warehousing Meetup, we discussed how graph databases work, shared some real world use cases, and showed a live demo of the world’s leading graph database, Neo4J. Pitney Bowes demonstrated their new MDM product developed on a graph database.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Here’s a little demonstration of what you can do when you have it all working together…The GSAF is a loose collection of all reported shark incidents
Org BI has been with us forever – Decision Support Systems – Reliable and curated, but unresponsivePersonal BI evolved to plug the performance gap – problem is that it’s unreliable and out of controlAllow users to share, with oversight in a team scenario – that’s what SharePoint provides. A platform for reliable BI collaboration
The products stack up much as expected, with SQL Server SKUs filling the Enterprise spaceOffice apps as expected cover much of the Personal BI space – with add-ins from the SQL teamThe team area is a mixture, with products from both teamsIt’s worth noting that the second most requested feature of any 3rd party BI application is export to Excel. Using SharePoint, Excel can actually be a client, meaning it can stop being a part of the problem and become a part of the solution.
Another way to look at the tools – through their uses
Big change is that xVelocity is included, as have PowerPivot and PowerViewParalleling that on the server, what was once simply PowerPivot for SharePoint has been segmented into its two constituent parts. It was always Analysis Services + automation, but it was tightly coupled. Now it can be scaled separately, and Excel Services handles the load balancingA number of other new features are available that may affect architecture, including per-user authentication
Covering 3 Major AreasExcel ServicesReporting ServicesPerformancePoint
Excel the client enables the personal BI.Office Pro Plus means NOT Home and Student, or RT – no model for surface… In 2013 xVelocity is built in, and PowerPivot and PowerView are included and must be enabled (show)To share workbooks, Excel services is necessary. Interaction with the data model requires Analysis Services SharePoint modeTo refresh automatically and use the Gallery, you need PowerPivot for SharePoint
Although PowerPivot and Power View are included, they are disabled by default, and need to be enabled if you want to work with them. This is done easily enough – (Demo in Excel). Also, if you click the Power View button, it’ll offer to do it for you. In addition, the xVelocity engine isn’t used by default, it must be activated on a workbook by workbook basis. There are ample opportunities to do this – when importing data, when inserting imported data into the workbook, or when working with the data. Finally, if PowerPivot is enabled, using it will also create the model.
4 client versions, 3 server versions. SQL Server 2012 SP1 brings new features to the table – required for the new models
What works with what? Essentially, you’re looking at good downward compatibilityOf note – Excel 2013 models won’t work with pre 2013 SharePoint farms. Just sayin’Upgrade your farm before your Office apps
SSRS is comparatively generous – doesn’t even need a SharePoint licenseSharePoint mode does need at least a standard license (there’s an Express…)The really cool features need BI or EnterprisePowerView needs Tabular models
PerformancePoint is an aggregatorRequires SP EnterpriseAS needs to be available for analytics charts or grids (either mode)
Some pieces are built by the Office team, some by the SQL Server teamCan lead to confusion – consider ta common misunderstanding
This is a very common small farm architecture. All the SQL bits on one server, all the SharePoint bits on anotherReporting Services and PowerPivot for SharePoint are on the SQL server mediaBoth require Farm joined servers to operate
Far too often, this is what results. SharePoint gets laid down on the SQL boxSQL performance is impactedManagement headaches increase
Correct approach is to put the SQL bits on the SharePoint server not the other way around
Let’s walk through the setup of the 3 major groups, starting with Analysis Services SharePoint mode/PowerPivot
These screens look the same for installation on Standalone or on SharePoint“SQL Server PowerPivot for SharePoint” is ConfusingNeed BI or Enterprise license to see this option
- This is the only place where we see the terminology “Analysis Services”
Must install into a named instanceLeaving it as PowerPivot not required, but recommended
Must use a domain account – shouldn’t be a managed one
- Accounts used to connect through BISM MUST be AdministratorsFarm account should be administratorNext up – Go to Excel Services Application settings and show the data model settings
- At this point, we can register the engine with Excel Services, and we’re good
From here only applies to installation on a SharePoint ServerRequired for scheduled refreshes, PowerPivot galleryDo NOT need to have the Analysis Services instance on the same server (but you can (classic mode))
Already configured in this farm, so we’ll use screenshots. Starting with 2012, the configuration tool was added. When you run it, you get the option of configuring, repairing or removing PowerPivot for SharePointIf you want to remove it – use this tool
The tool analyzes the system to determine what is necessary for configurationWhere input is needed, you see an alert
I recommend changing the name of the application and the databaseDefault PowerPivot is a bad name, and GUIDs are evil
- The tool will deploy assets to a single site collection. If you have multiple, this must be done manually
When Ready, use the validate button, and all indicators should turn greenThere are a couple of post configuration steps that need to be doneChange the Excel Services default sizeAdd the Central Administration address into trusted pathsChange the prompting optionsGrant spServices correct permissions in the Administration databaseCheck the data model settings
Setting Up:Service ApplicationSubscriptions and AlertsReport Library – Report Builder/Data Tools for ContentBISM Connection – Power View Report
We’re not doing PowerPivot, so we select SQL Server feature installation.
- RS – SharePoint is the Service Application- RS Add-in for SharePoint is the old fashioned add –in MUST be deployed on all front end servers!
PerformancePoint is straightforwardCan be done by the “white wizard”
As with any SharePoint service application, BI features can be scaled out nowA few differencesWorth walking through a growth scenario
Start with an all in one SharePoint farm (NOT a standalone!)
Let’s add or BI services to our SharePoint box. Simple enough
Now lets move the server that the users interact with (the FE server) onto its own box. We can also separate out the model processing onto a standalone (non farm joined) server. This way, services execution doesn’t impact user requests.
Another approach is to segment by functionNot strictly role basedLong running processes separated from user interacting processes
- Obviously all of these services can themselves be scaled out and load balanced
For SSRSService app needs to be installed on “application server” roles – Responsible for processing and rendering the reportAdd in must be installed on FE server – unlike the past where it was automatic. Connects to service appFor xVelocityAdd “PowerPivot for SharePoint” to standalone serversAdd “PowerPivot for SharePoint” add in to at least one “application server” roleBoth can be on one – will impact SP performance
A non-comprehensive collection of things to be aware or “notes from the field”
Explain Double hop problem Kerberos constrained delegation allows token passing, but hard to set upReporting Services has supported this for a long time via SetUser() – nobody understood itBISM implicitly supports EFFECTIVEUSERNAMEPerformancePoint and Excel Services now support EFFECTIVEUSERNAME against multidimensional sources
Quick demo using SSRS on how this works
- Connection account needs very elevated permissions to use (dbOwner or SysAdmin) Keep in mind the the service account for the services in question need Admin access to the Analysis Services server (makes a connection)EXCEL Services and PerformancePoint for AS, SSRS for SQL (except PowerView, which is BISM)
Real value of SP as a platform is its integration capability. Whole > sum of partsDashboarding is obvious – pull together assets from all of the different tools using the web part framework.To consider – leverage other SharePoint assets – like the filter parts, in particular the current user filter. To use this filter effectively, your user profile subsystem must be healthy. Many people are unaware of it, or its extensible powerOld import system available in SP2013
Integration in Action – Using a profile field to drive an SSRS parameter
More integration – turning things around. How to Report on SharePoint DataSP data design makes it inefficient. Best to extract into a data warehouse like other transactional systemsImprove performance and simplify maintenanceWorkflowHistoryList is a prime exampleBlog entry of how to clean out
Everyone has a red bar. Need to fix thisProblem is spurious rules – need to repair real problems – disable spurious rules
