This years PASS Summit has seen some of the biggest announcements in SQL Server and Microsoft Business Intelligence history.
- We’ve finally gotten a clear vision where Microsoft is heading.
And it even makes sense! - Microsoft already was the leader in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Operational Database Management Systems
But SQL Server 2016 will bring even more improvements. - In the past year, Power BI has gone from “OK” to “Nice” to “Wooooooooow“.
With all the new announcements, it seems like Microsoft is not even taking it’s foot of the throttle. - Cortana Analytics Suite is Microsoft’s way to help you get insight and take action on your data.
It’s basically everything you need for your Data Science scenario’s.
