I'm hosting a webinar for Panorama
As I've mentioned, my recent thoughts on client tools (see here and here) have prompted a lot of interest around the Analysis Services community. One result is that Panorama have asked me to host a webinar for them where I get to sound off about the state of the client tool market before they show you their latest stuff. Yes, I'll be paid for it but I'm not going to be promoting their products
directly (I feel like I need to justify myself!), just repeating my standard line that if you want to do anything serious with Analysis Services you should at least check out the range of third-party client tools available rather than stick blindly with what MS gives you - and given that Panorama are the largest vendor of third-party client tools for Analysis Services, they deserve to be on the list of tools to check out. Here's the link to sign up for the webinar: http://www.panorama.com/webcasts/archives/2008/webinar-with-cwebb-oct-21.html Up Link Partner cwebbbi.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!7B84B0F2C239489A!2777.entry
