Chapter 18. Present Imperatives and Future Outlook

The endless loop

Our goal with this book was to teach you how to build a successful business intelligence system and its underlying data warehouse using the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 product set. In this chapter we provide a brief review of the overall approach we described and highlight the elements that are critical to success. We conclude with a brief wish list of how we hope to see the Microsoft BI toolset evolve over the next few years.
