Understanding current trends in business conditions often requires asking a lot of questions, but allowing users to run query after query against your operations databases causes more problems than it solves. By creating a data mart, you can maintain a separate data store that can withstand the heavy query load that business analysis demands. In this webcast, you'll learn why you need a dimensional data model for your data mart, how to quickly build a dimensional model, and how to use control flow and data flow components in Integration Services to build simple packages that populate the dimensional model with data.
