Introduction
Analytical solutions are quickly becoming mission critical for manyorganizations. This has lead to an explosion of data stored in these systemsand a need to support larger, faster solutions that can be created anddeveloped quickly and effectively.
Build Enterprise-Scale Solutions
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services is designed to provideexceptional performance and scales to support applications with millions of records and thousands of users. Innovative, consolidated tools help improvedeveloper productivity and result in better design and faster implementation.
High Developer Productivity
Developers typically have to learn and use multiple tools to build and deploy asolution. With Analysis Services however, developers can use the SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) throughout the entiredevelopment cycle from the start of the project through development todeployment. Because Business Intelligence Development Studio is based onthe Visual Studio development environment, it is fully integrated with the VisualStudio Team System; which provides design, development, collaboration,optimization, and testing resources. This provides an environment wheredevelopers can work faster and more effectively within an integrated, intuitiveenvironment. Furthermore, to even further enhance productivity BIDS alsooffers sophisticated Business Intelligence Wizards. A set of easy to usewizards will help even the most novice user in modeling some of the morecomplex business intelligence problems making the developments of BIprojects more accessible to a larger number of people and organizations.Inefficiencies in the design occurring in the early development phase oftenwaste large amounts of development time because work that developers havealready completed based on the incorrect design needs to be re-done whendesign mistakes have been rectified. SQL Server 2008 Analysis Servicesintroduces a set of new, innovative Best Practice Design Alerts that provideautomatic notification of potential design issues early in the developmentprocess, which reduces wasted time caused by design mistakes and facilitatesa faster development process. Figure 1 shows an alert on the

hierarchy. As you can see from Figure 1, the alerts highlightproblem areas. However, they do not in any way affect functionality as thealerts can simply be ignored or dismissed individually, or globally.
