Beginning on Oct. 1, accepting credit card payments will be a risky prospect for any small business that doesn’t make the investment to upgrade its payment technology to EMV. With EMV (Europay, Mastercard, Visa) cards, the microchips make the authentication process for payment more secure.
But on October 1st, credit card companies and banks are changing their liability policy to make businesses responsible for any fraudulent payments made using a non-EMV system. In other words, if you accept a sponsorship payment of $1500, with what turns out to be a stolen credit card, the credit card company will not repay the business for the transaction. It’s also likely that insurance companies will raise rates on businesses that don’t use EMV systems

Add cloud synchronization to the mix, and you can wind up spending huge amounts of time on the database back-end. This takes valuable resources away from the development of your apps unique, core value proposition.

Join Stacia Misner Varga (SQL Server MVP) and the MSBISF team this Wednesday for a lively discussion on “Automating Your BI Framework”
Quite frankly, some aspects of building out a business intelligence solution are tedious. As you cycle through iterations of your star schema, you’ll find that even a simple data type change in the data warehouse requires you to make corresponding changes to staging tables, SSIS packages, and SSAS multidimensional or tabular models that take a considerable amount of time to implement. But there’s a better, faster way! In this session, we’ll explore lessons from a project that required implementation of a framework to easily generate BI objects based on reusable patterns. We’ll walk through the decision points in the framework design, review the implementation steps, and see demonstrations of how easily you can make iterative changes to your BI solution’s design by using reusable design patterns. Whether you simply want to accelerate change management or reproduce objects in bulk on demand, this session will give you practical tips for automating these processes.
