SQL Server BI (SSIS, SSRS, SSAS & Power BI) Training (Online)
By Sruthi, SQL Server BI Architect!!! (*****)
Course Description
Our Microsoft Business Intelligence (MSBI) training enables you to master MSBI tools like SSIS, SSRS, SSAS, and Power BI using SQL Server. As part of this training, you will learn data integration and creating reports, dashboards, and cubes for faster reports generation.
SSIS: In the SSIS part of the training, you gain the skills to improve business intelligence capabilities by automating complex migration tasks and auditing the success or failure of migration processes. You will learn to transform data among heterogeneous data sources — such as text files, Oracle, Access, XML, ODBC and OLE DB — and effectively and securely managing data migration across various platforms.
SSRS: In the SSSR part of the training, you learn how to implement a SQL Server Reporting Services solution for data analysis in an organization. The course discusses how to use the Reporting Services development tools to create and manage reports and implement self-service BI solutions.
SSAS: In the SSAS part of the training, you learn how to implement both multidimensional and tabular data models and how to create cubes, dimensions, measures, and measure groups.
Power BI: In the Power BI part of the training, you access data from a wide range of data sources and create Reports using the in-built visuals. You will also learn to format those visuals for maximum effect and import custom M visuals to extend your reporting capability. You will gain expertise in DAX languages and then publish your masterpiece to a workspace in the Power BI Service, creating Dashboards, sharing Reports and Dashboards with colleagues, concluding with scheduling a data refresh.
