" summary

Microsoft frames its BI roadmap as a concrete stack: Excel + SharePoint + SQL Server drive self-service analytics that IT can inherit. Live demos show Flash Fill, chart recommendations, the Excel data model/xVelocity, Excel Services publishing, and a six‑minute Office 365 Power View publish on Surface RT. Governance tools include Discovery and Risk Assessment plus Spreadsheet Compare/Inquire, and seamless promotion from PowerPivot workbook to Analysis Services tabular model — a single engine enabling managed self-service at scale.
