For Microsoft TechEd Australia the team at WARDY IT Solutions have delivered a showcase application that illustrates how the power of Business Intelligence in SQL Server 2008 R2 can be combined with an engaging, interactive user experience using Silverlight.

Twitter Trends is a Silverlight application that displays real-time analytics from Twitter. It shows the number of tweets per hour and the number of tweets over the last 7 days as well as whom the top tweeters are on a given topic. This solution can be used to analyse Twitter to see what the social influence of any topic is.

WARDY IT Solutions is running a Free SQL Server breakfast in Brisbane on Tuesday the 10^th of August. Catering will be served from 7:30am with the one hour presentation starting at 8:00am.

IT departments and end users have traditionally been at odds with each other over self-service analytics. IT departments seek to maintain IT governance and control; whilst end-users want to generate and manage their own content and reporting.

In this breakfast session WARDY IT Solutions will demonstrate how with the managed self-service business intelligence features in SQL Server 2008 R2, these two worlds can meet to provide significant business advantage. This breakfast session is based on the real world experience that WARDY IT Solutions has delivering self-service BI for some of Australia's largest SQL Server sites.
