PowerPivot is a breakthrough for self-serve BI but is not easily deployed in the enterprise.  Join us for this fast-paced, technical demonstration on how to upgrade PowerPivot into secure and scalable Analysis Services tabular cubes with Pyramid’s BI Office suite.  
We’ll then show how Pyramid’s analytics and dashboard tools fully unleash the power of these enterprise quality cubes. With end-user driven business logic and calculations, parameterization, dynamic sets, and slick interactive graphics we’ll work through a complex “Market Basket Analysis” example without writing a single line of code.
