PowerPivot allows business users to integrate massive amounts of data, perform analysis, and create interactive reports in Excel. It includes a new in-memory analysis engine. Data can be sourced from SQL Server, published to SharePoint, and collaborated on. PowerPivot administration is simplified through tools that provide usage insights and content management capabilities. SQL Azure provides a scalable architecture for PowerPivot data with automatic replication and failover.

Editor's Notes
- #5 Purpose of the Slide: Introduce PowerPivot for Excel 2010 as a data analysis tool that delivers unmatched computational power directly within Microsoft Excel.Key Points: Leveraging familiar Excel features, users can transform enormous quantities of data with incredible speed into meaningful information to get the answers they need in secondsExcel-based in-memory analysis overcomes existing limitations for massive data analysis on the desktop with efficient compression algorithms to load even the biggest data sets into memory.Data Analysis Expressions (DAX) puts powerful relational capabilities into the hands of power users who want to create advanced analytics applications.SharePoint integration enables users to share data models and analysis, and because the solutions are in SharePoint, users can configure refresh cycles to ensure the data remains current automatically.Virtually unlimited support of data sources provides the foundation to load and combine source data from any location for massive data analysis on the desktop, including relational databases, multidimensional sources, cloud services, data feeds, Excel files, text files, and data from the Web.PowerPivot Management Dashboard enables IT administrators to monitor and manage shared applications to ensure security, high availability, and performance.Conclusion: Microsoft SQL Server PowerPivot technology empowers users to get the answers they need, gain deeper insight into any business aspect, and compress decision cycles.
- #7 Purpose of the slideOutline how IT departments can provide users with access to data in systems that are notoriously hard to get to, such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems and customer relationship management (CRM) systems. Key Points: All Reports created by using Report Builder 3.0 and Reporting Services included in SQL Server 2008 R2 expose data feeds to import the report data conveniently into PowerPivot for Excel 2010Reports can encapsulate mission-critical enterprise data sources and consolidate heterogeneous data sources for analysisIntegrating varied data sources in reports that serve as data feeds for analysis helps to speed up common or complex analysis tasks and increases consistencyConclusion: By taking advantage of SQL Server Reporting Services data feeds, organizations can provide users with secure access to the mission-critical information they need.
- #8 Purpose of the slideHighlight the benefits of SharePoint Server 2010 to facilitate seamless and secure sharing and collaboration on user-generated BI solutions. Key Points: SharePoint 2010 makes it safe and easy for users to work together and boosts the productivity of project teams and business unitsStandard SharePoint permissions and workflows enable IT departments to coordinate how users share their solutionsAutomatic data refresh even for source systems over the Internet ensures accurate analysis and decision-makingReuse of workbooks and reports accelerates solution delivery, cuts development costs, and facilitates timely decisionsConclusion: To exploit all the BI capabilities available with PowerPivot for Excel 2010, deploy SQL Server 2008 R2 in a SharePoint 2010 environment.
- #9 Purpose of the Slide: Cover the PowerPivot Management Dashboard in more detail.Key Points: IT administrators can determine author, data sources, and users of shared PowerPivot workbooksServer status information includes CPU and memory utilization, system capacity and performance, as well as workbook and user activity over timeQuality of service information covers query response times, current server state, as well as largest and most popular solutionsSolution statistics and monitoring reveal document information and data sources, activity and top users, as well as query performance per workbookConclusion: The PowerPivot Management Dashboard simplifies the management of self-service BI content.
- #10 Purpose of the slideClarify that Microsoft SQL Server PowerPivot technology includes both an Excel add-in and server-based technology that integrates with SharePoint Server 2010. Key Points: SQL Server PowerPivot for Excel 2010 is a data analysis add-in that delivers unmatched computational power directly within Microsoft Excel SQL Server PowerPivot for Excel 2010 is available for download free of charge at www.powerpivot.com. SQL Server PowerPivot for SharePoint integrates with Excel Services on the SharePoint server to enable seamless and secure sharing and collaboration on user-generated BI solutions directly in the browserSQL Server PowerPivot for SharePoint is included in SQL Server 2008 R2Conclusion: SQL Server PowerPivot technology is the key to managed self-service BI, empowering users, enabling seamless and secure sharing and collaboration on user-generated BI solutions , and helping IT organizations increase efficiency through the PowerPivot Management Dashboard.
- #12 Slide script:The report part gallery delivers a unique self-service reporting experience for end users by allowing them to search, access, and reuse pre-built report parts stored on a SharePoint Server. Users can filter and search for specific content and through a drag and drop interface, they can grab any of the desired components needed to further enhance their reports. The reusable parts retain all the underlying data source, the datasets, queries, formatting and layout and design characteristics - as well as any parameters and sub-reporting components - to ensure that the parts work independently and deliver the expected results. What this means is that the end user doesn't have to spend a lot of time thinking about how to create some of the more complex elements associated with parameters, subreports, interactivity, and so on. In just a few clicks they can build some very nice-looking, interactive, professional reports using the powerful wizards in Report Builder 3.0 and the existing report elements from the Report Part Gallery.
- #13 Slide Script:In just a few clicks they can build some very nice-looking, interactive, professional reports using the powerful wizards in Report Builder 3.0 and the existing report elements from the Report Part Gallery. What’s great about this is that users can take different elements that they like from multiple reports - regardless of the version of Reporting Services used to create those reports – and use them as building blocks for creating some very nice-looking, interactive, professional reports in just a few clicks…giving a whole new meaning to self-service reporting. This approach delivers greater efficiency to IT Professionals because it takes them out of the business of constantly modifying existing reports or creating similar reports for end users. Instead they can create some nicely designed report parts that can be used more broadly across the organization. This is a great segue to our final focus area for enabling Managed Self Service BI.
- #14 From the customer’s perspective, SQL Azure provides logical databases for application data storage. In reality, each customer’s data is actually stored in multiple SQL Server databases, which are distributed across multiple physical servers. Many customers may share the same physical database, but the data is presented to the customer through a logical database that abstracts the physical storage architecture and uses automatic load balancing and connection routing to access the distributed data. Security and isolation is managed automatically.The key impact of this model for the customer is a move from managing physical servers to focus on logical management of data storage through policies.Shared infrastructure at SQL database and belowEach user database is replicated to one or more servers (configurable based on SLA)Client requests are routed to current “primary server” for read and write operations (based on SQL session)Security, lockdown and isolation enforced in SQL tierHighly scalable and state-of-the-art HA technologyAutomatic failure detection; client request re-routed to new primary on failure High SLA guarantee using logical replication (hot standby replicas)Automatic management, self-healing and load balancing across shared resource poolSDS provides provisioning, metering and billing infrastructure
