The need to provide accurate data analysis and to display the same information in different ways becomes knowledge.

It's Business Intelligence (BI) and everyday it becomes more important for big business decisions.

Today, the data integration from multiple sources is increasing, to act on that information to increase productivity and to provide feedback that improves underlying business processes is very important.

There are several ways to create and consume a structure of "self-service" in BI, the vast majority of solutions available are created to collect this data using Excel or SharePoint.

In the TechNet Wiki we have good articles about BI. See some of these listed below:

- A Practical Example of How to Handle Simple Many to Many Relationships in Power Pivot/SSAS Tabular Models

- Currency Conversion in SSAS 2012 (Multidimensional & Tabular)

- Data Virtualization Using Power Query

- How to Use the SQL Server Data Mining Add-ins with PowerPivot for Excel

- PowerPivot: Grouping By Dates (Months, Quarters, Years, etc.) in PivotTables

- Query Power Pivot DMVs with VBA

- SharePoint Server 2013 Business Intelligence Test Lab

- System Center Service Manager Data Warehouse and Reporting

- Tutorial: Create Charts, Tiles, and Other Visualizations in Project Crescent

- We’ve Got The Power: "Power BI", New Microsoft BI Suite Announced

Wiki Ninjas offer quality content and knowledge for data analysis. BI is a way to transform your information!

See you soon here !

Brazilian Wiki Ninja Durval

Hello Microsoft community.

Today is Monday, the day of our Interview with a Wiki Ninja.

And our interviewee will be Eduardo Sena.



He has been a member of the community since 2010.

He holds the title of MVP Windows Expert-IT Pro.

Author of the blog: http://www.eduardosena.com.br/

Twitter: @eduardodsantos

Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/eduardosenasantos


Let's get to know him a little more.


Who are you?

My name is Eduardo Sena and I am from the city of Teixeira de Freitas located within the Bahia in Brazil. I work as a support analyst at Unimed extreme south where I'm responsible for infrastructure. I'm also in the elaboration of projects of local infrastructure improvements and new features to assist in employee productivity in the enterprise. In the community I'm MVP in the category of Windows Expert-IT Pro.

Which technologies are your specialties?

I specialize in solutions for deployment and desktop management where use technologies such as Windows Intune and MDT 2012/2013. I'm always in search of new knowledge, and one of them is about Windows Server 2012.

How did you become MVP?

I work in the community since 2010. I started writing a few posts on my personal blog eduardosena.com.br with the intention of helping people resolve questions related to Windows 7. Participate actively in the Technet forums Windows Client and Windows Server technologies. Then I started doing face-to-face events in my region and also Webcasts. In 2011, I joined the Group MTAC and as a result went to the MSP where I stayed for a year.

In 2014, received the award for MVP Windows Expert-IT Pro by contributions to the community. Which is an honor for me.

Do you have any suggestion or tip for other members of the community who hope to become an MVP?

The tip that I leave to the community members, who want to become an MVP or being part of any other group of influencers from Microsoft is to make their contributions just because they like to spread their knowledge and learn. The recognition will be a consequence of the work done in the community. It was with that thought that I started my contributions in the community and keep it until today.

How were you introduced to the Technet Wiki?

I met the TechNet Wiki in a Webcast presented by Yuri Diogenes and other members of the community. He presented the Wiki and made the invitation to everyone in the community that could contribute, at the time the Wiki was starting in Brazil and had not yet exclusive page for articles in Portuguese. From this moment I started writing and I always do it when I have time.

What was your first collaboration?

My first contribution was about:

Solucionando Problemas: Aplicar gpo de Wallpaper em estações com Windows 7 (pt-BR)

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/3105.aspx


In which locations do you also contribute?

In addition to the Wiki, usually contribute answers to the TechNet forums, write posts on my personal blog eduardosena.com.br and msinfra.net blog and am comunnity lead along with the MTAC Thiago Guirotto in the technical community called WSG – Windows Study Group.

What are your projects?

The main project for the community that I'm working on now is Quintas de TI. In it I have the support of friends Thiago Guirotto and Erick Albuquerque. The Farms of TI is an independent project presented every Thursday the 23:00. It is presented by leading practitioners and influencers of Microsoft technical community as MSPs, MTACs and MVPs. Furthermore, with the participation of professionals certified as: MCTs, MCSAs and MCPs. the project aims to disseminate knowledge at various levels and for anyone who wants to improve their knowledge.

 How does the TechNet Wiki fit in your work?

Usually use the Technet Wiki as a rich source of research, which helps me and sana my doubts concerning the various Microsoft technologies. I use Wiki in the same way within my work, as a knowledge base for me and the team as a whole.

What interests you the most about TechNet Wiki?

The most interesting thing on Wiki is how content is offered and the amount of documents. This gives us a rich source of content for a variety of Microsoft technologies. What interests me are the guides for survival where we can find a centralized point with several articles relating to a particular technology.

Among the items that are contributed to the TechNet Wiki community, what are your favorites?

My favorite Wiki articles are:

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/pt-br/contents/articles/22013.corrigindo-erro-0x80004005-ao-capturar-imagens-windows-8-com-mdt-2012-update-1.aspx

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/3594.configurando-o-gerenciamento-remoto-do-hyper-v-com-hvremote-pt-br.aspx

Who impressed you the most in the TechNet Wiki community?

Naming names I'd end up being unfair, even because it could get over someone. More I want to say that the Brazilian Wiki is to be congratulated on the quality and dedication of the files written by everyone.

The Microsoft community you help can only say thank you. So... Thank you very much!

 Eduardo's will, dedication, and commitment to help us is of the most fundamental importance of all.

We are sure that your example motivates other employees to be part of this great team that is the TechNet community.

Continue with the great collaboration!


Until the next opportunity,

Windows Azure BizTalk Services (WABS) provides integration capabilities in the cloud for EAI and B2B. This relative new service on Windows Azure was made available for customers in November 2013. WABS is a cloud integration platform or integration platform as a service or IPaaS. Characteristic of IPaaS is that you can build your integration on premise, deploy in the cloud, where it is hosted in a service (a set of dedicated hardware). The service is offered through a subscription model for operating the service in the cloud (for BizTalk Services this means Windows Azure hence the name Windows Azure BizTalk Services). Currently there are quite some players offering that kind of service like Dell, Attunity, MuleSoft, TIBCO, and so on.

Microsoft is currently pushing the service hard to catch up with some of these players and try to quicken/hasten the maturity of the product. Therefore, Microsoft has committed to have a release cadence for new features every three months. The recent release was in February 2014, which added new features for WABS. These new features are:

• EDIFACT Protocol Support and X12 Schema Updates
• Pulling Messages from Service Bus Queues and Topics
• Service Bus Shared Access Signatures (SAS) support with Service Bus Queues and Topics
• BizTalk Adapter Services No Longer Needs SQL On Premises
• Backup and Restore Support
• Operation Log Support

The release of WABS last November has resulted in quite a substantial number of TechNet Wiki articles. The best entry point is, no surprise here: Windows Azure BizTalk Services resources on the TechNet Wiki. This page lists the articles that have been written on WABS and its predecessor Windows Azure Service Bus EAI and EDI Labs (a beta of WABS). In a period of a few months almost twenty articles have been written by various authors within the BizTalk community, MVP's and Microsoft staff (in random order):

• Mandi Anez Ohlinger [MSFT]
• Rene Brauwers
• John Glisson
• Mohit Kumar Gupta
• Tomasso Groenendijk
• Steef-Jan Wiggers
• Sandro Pereira
• Lex Hegt
• Colin Meade

The new features to WABS has extended the flexibility and ability to create cloud solutions. However, WABS will need more adapters (sources/destinations) for instance to be able to compete with some of the other IPaaS vendors like MuleSoft, who offers a great deal of adapters. Another aspect of WABS is that most of the configuration is done through Visual Studio a main component currently to build, deploy and manage a bridge solution. This shows the huge dependency WABS currently has with Visual Studio. Managing for instance  some parts of a bridge solution like configuration of sources and destinations is preferable better in a different tool like management console/web application or within Windows Azure itself. Since this is still the first release after the go-live of WABS last year in November you can expect improvement of the service in many areas. This will results a more wiki articles on WABS in the future.
