You as BI and .Net Developer

As a BI consultant on a Microsoft based platform, you must have a profound knowledge or experience as a .net developer.

There at least two main reasons for it :

A business application is required by the business and often a .net client sounds like the best choice. That was the case with a Forecast and Monitoring application in my case, as mentioned in a previous blog entry.

.Net coding is an integrated part of all of your BI project types and herby only a few examples :

• SSIS - Script task in VB.net or C#
• SSAS - Store Procedures for calculations or dynamic security
• SSRS - Extending reports with custom code - embedded  or external within an assembly.

Sometimes you may even face the option of developing a .net application not directly related to your magic BI world.

That was the case with my last windows service application, briefly explained her from a business point of view :
