I was very happy when I got the invitation for the 2^nd Virtual Tech Days. Today I presented a session on PowerPivot and I discussed both the Excel 2010 and SharePoint 2010 features provided by PowerPivot technology. Following is the session I delivered and it was very interesting to 176 participants for the session.

PowerPivot for Excel 2010 and SharePoint 2010

Business Intelligence (BI) is quite old, matured concept. But Self-service Business Intelligence is a brand-new initiative from Microsoft to increase the reach and use of BI solutions. It is not an alternate to traditional BI implementations and it’s meant for totally different set of people having different set of objectives. Let’s examine what Self-service BI is and Microsoft solution for Self-service BI-PowerPivot. PowerPivot has 02 different implementaions-PowerPivot for Excel 2010 and PowerPivot for SharePoint 2010. Let’s try and explore both of them.

Look forward for the recoded session on http://www.virtualtechdays.com/default.aspx
