- 18. Best Practices 1. If you haven't created a SQL Installation Answer file or a PowerShell script there is no time like the present 2. Download AutoSpInstaller http://autospinstaller.codeplex.com • Modify the AutoSPInstallerInput.xml with your company SharePoint Service Accounts,WebApps etc. Like SPService, SPAdmin, SPSearch, SPFarm, SPCrawl, SPMySite, SPWebApp. SQLService, SQLAdmin • Modify the search index location • Set WebAnalyticsService Provision="false“ • Extract the Binaries to disk • There is a new GUI for helping you to enter your information if you don’t have an xml editor • One of the many cool things is if the script fails, just modify the input file and run again it will start where it left off 3. Complete post-deployment tasks as required
- 20. The Business Data Continuum Operational Databases Data Consolidation & Transformation (ETL) Relational Data Warehouse OLAP Cubes OR Tabular Data Reports, Charts, Dashboards & Scorecards

Gather Analytical Requirements Design Dimensional Model Design Data Transformations Create OLAP Dimensions & Cubes Design Reports & Analytics Design Presentation Portal BI Solution Design Phases & Components SQL File Data Flow SQL Server Relational Integration Services Analysis Services Reporting Services SharePoint Services
- 23. What tool should I use? When? PerformancePoint SSAS Grids Graphs Exploration Value Based GaugesScorecards Sparklines Diagrams SSRS
- 24. Why Tabular?(xVelocity/Vertipaq engine) • The current process for analytics idea to implementation is way too long. • Everyone is familiar with Excel. • Tabular is easier and faster than OLAP !!! • Query tool (DAX) is easier than MDX • Most important: You will quickly make your users heroes when introducing self-service analytics and reporting in Power View.

Editor's Notes
- #5: Who i I am nothing but SharePoint Clients
- #13: Self service
- #15: Talk about 10 slides
- #19: 20 minutes 40 minutes demoi
- #26: Ideas are brought to the team or we think of them (ex: How customers engage with our products?) Identify the data, clean it, and capture it. Build a report in the DW. This usually takes 4, 5, or 6 weeks depending on the data, report, etc. Often times when the stakeholder looks at the report, they say something like "Now that I see this, I really want X.“
