"For four years I've been listening to customers ask for content that gives a comprehensive view of Microsoft business intelligence [BI] and that helps organize and discuss the tools available in SharePoint 2010 and SQL Server 2008 R2," says lead author Norm Warren.

This book offers a walk through the life-cycle of a business intelligence implementation to get to trusted data in SQL Server 2008 R2, from deciding what to measure to data warehouse to analysis services cube."
