SQL Server Accelerator for BIThe SQL Accelerator for BI enables you to rapidly develop and deploy customized analytical applications
without long and costly development cycles.
What problems are we trying to solve?
Analytical apps are key to BI as an “everyday thing”- Skills gap constrains growth of BI
Solution Providers- Deploying the infrastructure is difficult and costly- Hard to leverage best practices and content
Customers- Analytical apps take too long to build- Historically high risk of failure- No generic analytical app can meet all customer
requirements out of the box
Our approach
Our solution:- Enables rapid iterative development for the
analytical application- Encapsulates domain expertise in a common
structure• Data model• KPIs (measures and metrics)• Reporting application• ETLM lifecycle
Focus on business requirementsCodify best practicesFacilitate re-use of content and design
Accelerator for BI Components
Solution components- SSABI tool- Predefined content- Prescriptive Architectural Guidance- Client Views
What the customer gets- Enterprise-ready analytical application- Customized to their requirements- Open and extensible system

Reporting application overview
Generic solution includes rich set of predefined reports: the reporting application
Choose your client tool: Excel, MSDA, ProClarity, (or any other)- We ship a similar set of reports in each tool- Not identical, because tool features differ
What happens when you customize the schema?- Our client generator components, written by the tool vendors fix the
reports for you- Any tool vendor beyond our first 3 could write a client generator and
integrate with the BI Accelerator framework
