Business Intelligence Master’s Program (12 weeks) Fall 2010
The SetFocus Business Intelligence Master’s Program is an intensive, hands–on, project oriented program
where participants put the Business Intelligence skill set to use in a simulated work environment.

capabilities of SSIS were used to define imports of data, build scheduling packages, define
integration flow, log data error exceptions, handle orphaned data, define database maintenance plan
and send notifications.
• Created cubes, dimensions, and business critical KPIs using SSAS representing aggregations in
different ways – through hierarchies and using custom groupings, that the company will use to
analyze performance. Created MDX queries according to business requirements.
• Developed detail and summary reports, line and pie charts, trend analysis reports and sub-reports
according to business requirements using SSRS.
• Implemented Business Intelligence dashboards using MOSS 2007 Report Center and Excel Services
producing different summary results based on user view and role membership.
• Created score cards using MS Office Performance Point Server 2007 Dashboard Designer that
feature executive summary measures for revenue, overhead costs, material purchases, labor and
profitability trends for a construction company extracting data from SQL Server 2008 OLAP data
source and deployed to SharePoint sites. The dashboards also contain pages to view performance by
employee, by region, and by quarter enabling end-users to make filter selections.
• Key product areas utilized also include data modeling, SSRS report subscriptions and data driven
subscriptions, SSAS analysis services processing tasks, cube processing options and roles.
