Two weeks ago I was in Rovinj doing presentation (and a small BI workshop) at the biggest yearly gathering of IT geeks in Croatia – WinDays 11. The conference was organized by Microsoft Croatia. The title of my presentation? “Business Intelligence Semantic Model”, or BISM, for short.

Here’s the abstract of that session in English/Croatian:

The next version of SQL Server brings several news related to Business Intelligence. This session will focused on one of them – the new semantic model inside SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) known as BISM. We’ve already had a chance to see the Business Intelligence Semantic Model (BISM), athough not exactly under that name. It was PowerPivot with its VertiPaq storage and DAX calculations. The next version of Analysis Services will enable the use of the BISM in addition to the already existing UDM. What it means to BI implementers, what it means for end users? The presentation will focus on explaining what BISM really is and compare it with the existing UDM. If you’re interested in cubes, PowerPivot and similar BI stuff, come and see what the future brings.

Sljedeća inačica SQL Servera donosi nekoliko novosti vezanih uz Business Intelligence. Ovo predavanje fokusirat će se na jednu od njih – novi semantički model unutar Analysis Services (SSAS) poznat pod kraticom BISM. Business Intelligence Semantic Model (BISM) smo već imali prilike vidjeti iako ne pod tim imenom. Radilo se o PowerPivotu i njegovom modelu spremanja podataka koji počiva na vrsnom VertiPaq engine-u i uporabi DAX kalkulacija. Sljedeća inačica Analysis Services omogućavat će, pored dosadašnjeg modela poznatog pod kraticom UDM, korištenje BISM modela. Što to znači za implementatore BI rješenja, a što za korisnike? Tema predavanja bit će objašnjenje BISM-a i njegova usporedba s postojećim UDM-om. Zanimaju li vas kocke, PowerPivot i slične BI stvari, dođite na predavanje da vidite što budućnost nosi.

In case you’re interested, the presentation is available here:

Looking forward to your feedback.
