Microsoft,
announced that they will open the first Microsoft Business Intelligence

Microsoft Corp.'s vision and strategy for delivering pervasive BI and
performance management.
In addition to describing how Microsoft is leading the
transformation of the BI market by enabling BI and performance
management throughout the enterprise, Raikes will announce key
milestones for Microsoft's BI offering: Microsoft's product development
vision and launch timeline for the next version of SQL Server,
code-named 'Katmai'. The product will deliver on Microsoft's overall
data platform vision to meet the needs of the coming data explosion and
the next generation of data-driven applications. SQL Server Katmai will
also include key capabilities for data warehousing and send information
delivery through Microsoft Office, says the company.
"Microsoft is charting a course to transform the BI marketplace as
we know it," Raikes said. "By fundamentally changing the economic model
for BI and delivering unprecedented ease of use, we're enabling the
broadest deployment of BI possible so employees can better contribute
to a company's overall business performance."
