20:00 - 21:00 ‘I’m searching .... give me a minute.’  BI 2.0 - Andrew Sadler, Hitachi Consulting

Search functionality is all pervasive.  Outlook, explorer, intranet, internet, its everywhere. Why shouldn’t BI be the same?

As the boundaries between structured and non-structured data get blurred, end users are expecting to see and get more context around their BI as well as being lead into their BI in an intuitive user paradigm, like search. 
This session highlights some simple yet quite powerful ways to expose some of search functionality that Sharepoint offers, in relation to Mirosoft’s BI offering, using several real world use-cases.
