Track: Information Delivery and Collaboration

On its own, self-service analytics struggles to give business users the insights they need. But when combined with a corporate BI platform, the power of self-service analytics shines, and the sometimes toxic relationship between the IT department and business users changes to one of mutual respect and working together to achieve common goals. In this demo-rich session, we’ll explore the use-case scenarios and benefits of self-service business analytics as part of a broader reporting and analytics strategy using SQL Server 2012, SharePoint 2013, and Office 2013.
After laying the foundation, we'll launch into a range of demos covering PerformancePoint dashboards, Report Alerts with SQL Server Reporting Services, Report Parts with Report Builder, Power View, Pivot, and PowerPivot. All demos will show how corporate BI solutions can be extended and enhanced with self-service analytics. We’ll also highlight new analytics features in SharePoint 2013 and Excel 2013 – and when to use each.
