Project SummaryDesign and build a Business Intelligence solution for a fictitious construction company (All Works) to track employees, customer, job order, and time sheet information.

Audience: Business Executives Information workers IT Managers

Project Goals: Design a star schema database using Visio Enterprise Architect ( four fact tables) Create a staging area database in SQL Server 2005 using Visio generated DDLs Create an ETL solution to load data into SQL Server 2005 staging database from Excel files and raw flat files sources using SSIS Create a n Analysis Services Cube using SSAS Write MDX queries based on specifications Define Calculated Members and Key Business Performance Indicators (KPI’s) in SSAS Use Excel Services to display the Cube data and KPI’s, displaying statuses and trends Produce summary and detailed reports using SSRS Create Scorecards using Microsoft Office Performance Point Implement Business Intelligence dashboards using MOSS 2007 (SharePoint)


Star Schema for All Works Construction Company


Sample of an SSIS Package Design in Business Intelligence Studio: JobTimeSheet

This package loads data from several csv JobTimeSheet files into SQL Server 2005 database AllWorksDBStudent. The content of its Data Flow task is shown on the next two slides.


Content of JobTimeSheet Package Data Flow


Content of JobTimeSheet Package Data Flow Cont’dThe conditional Split Transformation editor shows the constraints used to determine new rows, changed rows and invalid rows


Master SSIS Package in Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS)

This is the main package that launches the execution of all ETL packages from SQL Server 2005.

The flow of execution of this package was designed by giving high priority to packages which do not require data loaded by others.

After the successful execution of all ETL packages, it launches the database maintenance tasks starting with the database shrinking, indexes building, statistics update and database backup task.

A notification of the successful or failure execution of each task is sent out with supporting data.


Calculated Member Sample in BIDS (SSAS): Percentage of overhead increaseThe tooltip shows the MDX code used in the calculation


Calculated member sample in BIDS (SSAS): Jobs Trend


MDX code showing Jobs Trend as ((number of jobs in current quarter ) - (jobs in previous quarter)) / (number jobs in previous quarter)

Key Performance Indicator (KPI) Sample in BIDS KPI Profit Percentage: Profit% as Total Profit/(Total Profit + Total Cost)


KPI Sample in BIDS: Overhead Trend Definition


Sample of MDX query in Management Studio: Job Materials


Sample of MDX query in Management Studio: Top 3 Employees


Sample of MDX query in Management Studio: Overhead by Category


KPI’s, Trend Indicators, and Excel Services - SampleExcel Services was used to connect to Analysis Services Cubes, and used Pivot Table Interface to create reports including KPI’s and Trend Indicators

KPI Profit Percentage. When profit% is less than or equal to 5% show red; greater than 5% and less than 15% show yellow; greater than 15% show green


Dashboard Design to Incorporate Spreadsheets from Excel ServicesPerformance Point Services was used to create this dashboard by importing 3 spreadsheets from Excel Services. The next three slides show this dashboard deployed to SharePoint 2007 .


Performance Point Dashboard deployed to SharePoint 2007 – First Page


Performance Point Dashboard deployed to SharePoint 2007 – Second Page


Performance Point Dashboard deployed to SharePoint 2007 – Last Page


Design of a Dashboard with 5 Pages Including Charts and ScorecardsAgain Performance Point was used to create this dashboard. The next 4 slides show this dashboard deployed to SharePoint


Performance Point 2007 Dashboard deployed to SharePoint 2007

This is an example of a dual Y-axis chart created in Performance Point. Notice how the percentage of Labor dollars are displayed at the bottom to support the chart data. The blue curved line visibly shows the spots that need immediate attention.



This is a chart that shows the quarterly overhead by category. Each curved line represents an overhead category.



Bar chart showing the quarterly materials purchase by client.



Scorecards showing goal and status of overhead , Clients Financial data as well as construction financial data

The Chart item from the toolbox was used to create this Pie Chart. The next slide shows this report being tested in SSRS in BIDS.

Testing Report in Reporting Services (BIDS) – Pie Chart Sample


Notice the dollar sales data by region at the bottom to support the data displayed in the chart.

Report Design in Reporting Services (BIDS) – Sample


This sample shows the data view of the report and the OLAP Cube from which the data is pulled. The next slide shows how this data is used in the layout view of the report.

Report Design in Reporting Services (SSRS) in BIDS - SampleThe picture shows the layout view and the datasets created based on the OLAP Cube data. The next two slides show two reports designed in SSRS and deployed to SharePoint 2007


Report created in Reporting Services (SSRS) and deployed to SharePoint 2007

This report shows the percentage of overhead changes from the previous quarter to the current quarter by overhead category


Another Report created in SSRS and deployed to SharePoint 2007This report shows the projects on which each employee worked on as well as the hours he worked and his total labor by week
