A digital dashboard, also known as an enterprise dashboard or executive dashboard, is a business management tool used to visually ascertain the status (or "health") of a business enterprise via key business indicators. Digital dashboards use visual, at-a-glance displays of data pulled from disparate business systems to provide warnings, action notices, next steps, and summaries of business conditions. Dashboards are visual representation of the data already collected and stored on your database. They through visualization convert Data into meaningful information that you can act upon. Data is one of the most valuable assets owned by your business. Converting this data to meaningful information will help executive teams make important decisions. A well designed visual dashboard has the ability to inform business executives across the organization hierarchies and provide on-demand access to core business metrics.  These dishoards can be viewed on your desktop and mobile devices. In today’s environment data is everywhere – sales, marketing, social, paid media, owned media, IT operations, HR and others. Managing and extracting real value from all that data is a key challenge facing executives at all levels in organization starting from an analyst at lowest rung of business hierarchy , managers and CXOs. In seeking a way to simplify data analysis and distribution, executives (across all business hierarchy) often find themselves quickly dealing with data and information overload. Discover how to create and manage interactive reports using SQL Server Reporting Services  (SSRS) and SQL Server Report builder. You will build and format reports from a variety of data sources. You will create datasets  and build  various types of reports . Topics include: Creating a column chart Creating a Pie chart Adding Indicators to reports Adding Gauge to reports Adding Maps to Reports After completing this course you will be confident to create your own dashboards.

Want to learn SQL Server quickly? In this course, we'll look in an hour at the SELECT statement. There are six constituent clauses in this statement: SELECT - this is akin to the Print statement in other languages, and FROM - this shows your data source, WHERE - this filters down your data source, GROUP BY - this enables the results to be summarised, HAVING - this filters the summary, and ORDER BY - this sorts your results. We'll then look at saving your code using both views and procedures. Finally, we'll export your reports into Excel, both statistically (copy and paste) and dynamically (so that you always have the latest reports). In just an hour, you'll be able to create your own SELECT statements, so you can use them in SQL Server (SSMS, SSRS and SSIS) and in Excel. This is all you need to start writing and using your own code. Quick and easily.

With time databases continue to grow. And along with this problems emerge. The response time is longer and longer, and meanwhile the user is falling asleep in front of their screen. Indices can be used as accelerators, due to them assisting the database servers navigation through the existing data.Data can be found faster and the response time significantly reduced. It has occurred, that one or two well-chosen indices can reduce the response time of a query from several hours to a few minutes. This also has an impact on the used hardware. Which therefore can be considerably smaller, or rather reduce utilization. Good knowledge of indices and their use are rare. but it’s potential yet enormous. This course will teach you what indices are and how they can be applied. We will go over the different types of indices and we will also take a closer look at execution plans. Upon completion of this course, you will be able to analyze exact situation on your SQL server and determine necessary improvements. If you apply the knowledge of this course correctly, you can surely score at your next salary negotiation.

Think of it this way - any business on this planet makes money with data. The fancy user interfaces, cool animations are nice but that's not what makes the money. Think about it... when you go to Facebook or Instagram do you care about the fancy animations and user interface or do you care to see your friends, what they are up to, check out events and be part of the goings on of that entire digital ecosystem? Of course it is the second choice... the fancy user interfaces are cool and make the experience pleasant but in the end you care about your friends and what they are up to, you care about being part of the ecosystem... Now your friends, followers, events, what everyone is up to is data and as I mentioned before that is what makes companies money. Microsoft SQL Server (SQL Server) is one of the most mature technologies that allows companies to handle data, store it securely, access it quickly and much more. Now if you know about Microsoft SQL Server (SQL Server) and you know how to create database objects, how to normalize tables, how to retrieve data, prepare reports, insert and delete data safely and you know about best practices then you are an amazingly valuable asset to the company. If you have a business that you are trying to grow and have data which you are trying to handle then Microsoft SQL Server (SQL Server) is a great choice which is another reason for you to learn this skill. Now guess what? All of those things we will be learning in this course and MUCH more! Take my advice and learn this valuable skill, you will not regret it.
