Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.

Note: This slide explains why we created the Office Web Apps.
Talking points: We are constantly looking for ways to help people to be more productive and to work the way they want. We invest a lot of time and money into each version of Office that we build by looking at usage data, talking to customers & partners, consulting with analysts and holding user groups.
As we were planning for Office 2010, we noticed some major changes in the technology landscape, most of which were fueled by the consumerization of IT.
The first trend relates to more open, collaborative sharing of information. Consider how the average person’s typical experience on the Web has changed. Initially, people primarily used the Web to search for information but now people are much more active participants. For example, over 60% of adults now have their own social networking site. And this trend towards open information sharing has been moving into the workplace as well.
Information sharing is open, collaborative
With more people participating on the Web through blogs, social networks, etc.
The next trend relates to the proliferation of devices available on the market today. The most obvious example here is the phone – from text messaging to Tweeting to editing documents, we do so much more than just talk on our phones today. But new devices are coming onto the market every day and virtually all of them are equipped with a browser.
Proliferation of devices
Leads to the need for an easy, consistent way to access information from different devices
Finally, the workforce has become increasingly mobile. Mobile workers worldwide will increase from ~750 million in 2006 to over 1 billion in 2011. And this means that IT has to ensure that they can access the information they need from wherever they are. And to my last point, on more devices.
Increasingly mobile workforce
Means that IT must ensure simple, secure remote access to information
The Web became an obvious answer for a way to help people address these challenges and opportunities. And so we decided to build Web-based productivity tools, namely the Office Web Apps, to rise to the call of this changing technology landscape.
Notes: This slide explains what the what the Web Apps are and what value they provide. It also positions them against the competition. Please note that there is optional animation included – click on the screenshots to make them grow.
Available for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote and Outlook
Provides delivery options – on premises or Microsoft hosted
Delivers files as you would expect to view them in Office
Maintains contents and formats across PC, phone, browser
Works cross-platform: IE, Firefox, and Safari on PC, Mac, or Linux *
* There are some differences between the features of the Web Apps, Office Mobile 2010 and the Office 2010 applications. Supported browser versions for Web Apps: IE7 and greater on Windows, Safari 4 and greater on Mac, Firefox 3.5 and greater on Windows, Mac and Linux.
Talking points: Now, you can use the basic features from your favorite Office applications on the Web, with SharePoint or Windows Live Skydrive as your home base. The Web Apps are online companions available for Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote.
There are many benefits in Web-based productivity tools. The key areas where customers will find value include:
Quick viewing – Scan through files quickly in a SharePoint doc library, to find the one you need.
Anywhere access – Take peace of mind that you don’t always need to have your PC to access information. This also promotes SharePoint adoption throughout the organization.
Sharing – Post and share large files, use simultaneous editing, share files regardless of version.
Basic editing – Take advantage of a familiar experience to make light edits. A set of essential features for web-based scenarios is available in each Web App.
In addition to these core usage pillars, there are aspects of the Web Apps that really make them stand out from the competition:
Delivery options – For enhanced security, IT has the CHOICE to host them on premises with SharePoint Foundation, or to have them hosted with MS online. It’s a matter of choice in what’s best for the organization in managing flexibility vs. control.
High fidelity – the Web Apps deliver files to you as you would expect to see them. This provide a consistent viewing experience that you are used to with Office on the PC.
“Round tripping” – Content and formatting is maintained as you move across the PC, phone and browser to make light edits, what we like to call “taking the content on a round trip.” This avoids user frustration as well as preventing support calls to IT for assistance in restoring content.
Cross platform – In addressing the proliferation of devices, the Web Apps will work on supported versions of IE, Firefox and Safari.
Notes: This slide paints the picture for “round tripping content,” a key competitive differentiator.
Talking points: We introduced the concept of taking your content on a round trip. Consider some scenarios where this would be very beneficial to the typical Office worker
[insert your own scenario and here is an example]
This Office worker created some analysis on his PC while he was in the Office. He was using some of the rich data visualization features such as condition formatting and graphs.
Later that day, he is at the airport waiting for his flight. He logs on to an airport kiosk and uses the Web Apps to make a few quick edits he had thought of in providing some additional simple calculations.
Once his flight lands, he checks his e-mail from the runway and sees that his team decided to make some additional edits. He takes a look at them via the Excel Web App and Excel mobile.
Throughout this whole process, he’s had a great viewing experience and he was able to make edits with confidence, knowing that changes made at the kiosk would appear as he intended them to for someone who may open the file though their traditional PC application.
Always on, timed and manual sync modes
Support for different access points with automatic roaming between GPRS/WLAN
Controls for sync while roaming
Notes: The purpose of this slide is to encourage customers to create a thoughtful strategy for embracing the cloud, and to share Microsoft’s software plus services vision.
At Microsoft, we are recognize that the Cloud provides many benefits for delivery of technology and we are aggressively investing to help customers benefits from the strengths of Cloud computing.
However, we recommend that customers take a disciplined approach rather than diving in head first. It’s important to take a thoughtful approach to ensure that the right standards are met in terms of security and control before moving any information or applications to the cloud.
That is why we are committed to providing CHOICE. To help ensure that organizations have the ability to design a model that provides them with the right balance of control vs. flexibility. And to avoid risk.

recalculation is now 90 percent faster on Excel 2010 than it was on Excel 2007, and almost 98 percent faster than on Excel 2003.
2nd chart:
The above figure shows that the speed at which charts can be drawn in Excel 2010 is around 95 percent faster than in Excel 2007, or in other words drawing a chart takes only about 5 percent as much time in Excel 2010 as it does in Excel 2007. Interestingly, chart drawing performance is only 35 percent faster in Excel 2010 than in Excel 2003, but this is explained by the much greater complexity of chart types and styles available in Excel 2007 and later, which makes it difficult to make a meaningful comparison of chart drawing speeds between Excel 2010 and Excel 2003.
