ENT News | at | by Mike
With the launch of SQL Server 2005 coming in November, Microsoft has formalized the implementation guidance and marketing support it will provide to its partners and customers.
The support comes in the form of two initiatives, Project REAL and SQL Server Front Runner, both highlighted by Bill Baker, Microsoft general manager of business intelligence, during a keynote at the 2005 Professional Association.
Project REAL, is a set best practice guidelines for implementing SQL Server 2005 in a business intelligence scenario. The idea behind it is to use the guidelines against a real, live customer production system.
