The course will cover the SQL Server components and tools used for B.I. projects. The course will also include the new features in SQL Server B.I. 2016. Reporting Services, Analysis Services and Integration Services will be explored and worked with. Components of Business Intelligence in SQL Server are completely independent from the SQL Server databases, so they can be used over any data sources. Therefore it is not necessary to know the SQL Server itself.
