SQL Server 2008 is a broad, integrated, easy-to-use, and rich platform for database management and delivering
Business Intelligence (BI). SQL Server 2008 R2; the latest release to this enterprise-class DBMS, was announced
at TechEd 2009. The official launch of the R2 release is set for May 12th, 2010.

SQL Server 2008 R2 delivers several breakthrough capabilities. It is a trusted DBMS platform that will enable
your organisation to scale database operations with confidence. It improves IT and developer efficiency. In R2,
BI has been updated with the best of data integration and transformation, warehousing, and multidimensional
analysis. This platform introduces comprehensive Master Data Management, and it showcases an innovative
and powerful self-service mechanism for data analysis called PowerPivot, which empowers a new class of
business users to build and share powerful BI solutions with little or no IT support, while still enabling IT to
monitor and manage user-generated BI solutions.

At this complimentary seminar, Microsoft’s Alan Eldridge along with Dimension Data Learning Solutions will

introduce you to the new features in the much awaited R2 release and will deep dive into advanced BI concepts,

for existing BI professionals.

All seminar attendees will receive a SQL Server 2008 R2 resources DVD at the end of the event.
