We\u2019re looking forward to sharing our vision of how we\u2019re making big data real through the familiar tools you already use \u2013 SharePoint, Excel and SQL Server \u2013 as well as new ones such as Power BI for Office 365 and Windows Azure HDInsight.<\/p>\n<p>Over the last few years, we\u2019ve all had to deal with an explosion in data types and the velocity at which we need to react to that data. In this world of big data, Microsoft has refined our data toolkit \u2013 adding performance and scaling capabilities on commodity hardware in SQL Server 2014, as well as the ability to store, process and analyze large volumes of data through Windows Azure HDInsight, our 100% compatible implementation of Apache Hadoop.<\/p>\n<p>Just as we\u2019ve added capabilities to our data platform, we\u2019ve continued to focus on making it as easy as possible to get rich insights from your stored data \u2013 whether it\u2019s in SQL Server, Windows Azure HDInsight or a 3<sup>rd<\/sup> party data provider such as a LOB system. We\u2019ve built powerful visualizations right into Excel with Power View and have added geospatial mapping capabilities through Power Map. It\u2019s also now possible to query your data with natural language through Q&amp;A in Power BI.<\/p>\n<p>Our focus at Gartner will be on showcasing how all of these innovations are coming together to enable all of your users to find, analyze and use the information they need quickly and easily.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019d love to speak to you if you\u2019ll be there. Stop by our booth; attend our session on April 2<sup>nd<\/sup> from 10:45 AM \u2013 11:45 AM; or schedule an individual meeting with Microsoft through the Gartner concierge. We\u2019re also co-hosting a learning lab on the show floor with our partner SAP where you can learn about how Power BI connects to SAP BusinessObjects BI Universes, both through small group sessions and hands-on demonstrations.<\/p>\n<p>We hope to see you.
