True BI solutions are composed of several layers of technology. Most BI solutions employ several working in concert, though some of the technology can be implemented on its own. The technical terms are familiar in the IT world: data warehouse, data mart, ETL, DSS, MDX, OLAP, data mining, dashboards, scorecards, and more. Previous generations of BI technology required investment in non-integrated products from multiple vendors, which resulted in complicated interfaces and extra cost.
Several years ago, Microsoft turned its resources to creating a comprehensive BI platform. While Microsoft sought to create a platform that was robust, cutting-edge, and helped define industry standards, it also required its BI platform to be affordable, accessible, and advanced. Today, the Microsoft BI product suite, centered on SQL Server 2005, accomplishes these goals.
The Microsoft BI Platform includes a set of modularized products with distinct BI roles:
- SQL Server 2005
- SQL Server Integration Services 2005 (SSIS)
- SQL Server Analysis Services 2005 (SSAS)
- SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 (SSRS)
- ProClarity
