The End User View of BI

|
On-Premises BI
• IT pros build data warehouse, models/cubes
• SQL Server / Analysis Services / Integration Services
• IT ensures data quality, security, availability, visibility
• IT builds business logic using MDX/DAX
• IT builds „THE‟ single source of truth
• Business users open support requests with IT for any changes

|
Power BI in the Cloud
• Users create and share certified queries (Power Query
Information Catalog)
• Users mash up different data sources (Corporate data, SQL
Azure, OData, Web Sites…)
• Users make the data more understandable through their
analysis and then share with others
• Users can get to on-premises data (if you implement the Data
Management Gateway)

|

Considerations
• Data Management Gateway doesn‟t support Analysis Services
(SSAS) models… yet
• Stick with SharePoint on-premises for surfacing Reporting
Services (SSRS) reports or Performance Point
• Think about developing your new reports in PowerView

|
SharePoint

|
Two Approaches
IaaS SaaS

|
IaaS

|
SaaS

|
IaaS Advantages
• Quickly scale up or out (advantage over on-premises)
• High availability at lower cost
• Allows for farm-based solutions (advantage over SaaS)

|
IaaS Considerations
• Active Directory
• Federation?
• Directory Sync?
• Vendor-specific VM limitations

|
SaaS Advantages
• Take advantage of the disruptive innovation around connected
cloud services

|
SaaS Considerations
• No farm or sandboxed solutions
• App model (loosely coupled and isolated) only

|
No Isolation Process Isolation App Isolation
Examples
MS DOS, Windows
3.1, Windows 95,
Mac OS 9
Windows NT,
Windows 7,
Mac OS X
Windows Phone 8,
Android, iOS
Validated API
protects OS
Yes Yes
Process memory
protection
Yes Yes
App storage
isolation
Yes
Permission Scheme None User-based App-based
SharePoint farm
Solution
SharePoint App

|
The App Model Can Do It
• Write RESTful web services to integrate with back-end data or
perform custom logic
• Write HTML and JavaScript to call into the SharePoint API or
your custom web services

|
Example: Search Driven Publishing

|
Continuous Delivery

|
Source Control
Unit Tests
Automated Build
Auto Deploy to Test Environment
QA
UAT
QA / UAT Approval
Auto Deploy to Production
Continuous Delivery
Continuous Integration
Continuous Testing
Continuous Deployment

|
Cloud Considerations for Continuous Delivery
• Agile is required
• Small, independent user stories
• PaaS allows for large strides in automated deployment
• Example: Staging and Production
• Treat your business users like SaaS customers

|
IaaS Advantages and Considerations
• Team Foundation Server
• Versioned
• Process template and work item customization
• Scalability, reliability (advantage over on-premises)

|
SaaS Advantages and Considerations
• Visual Studio Online
• Not Versioned
• Web-based test case management
• Author and execute remotely
• Cloud Load Testing
• No AD integration (yet)
• PowerShell is your friend

|
Conclusion

|
General Considerations
• Loosely coupled architectures
• App model
• RESTful architecture
• Iterate
• Farm solutions to the app model
• Reporting Services to PowerView
• Move client/server LOB apps to loosely coupled SaaS model
• Treat your business customers like SaaS customers
• Technical debt must be paid in order to take advantage of a
disruptive innovation.
