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.

I’m certain that everyone reading this article knows what an API is. But just in case, here’s the wiki definition “In computer programming, an application programming interface (API) is a set of routines, protocols, and tools for building software applications”. More generically, an API allows disparate applications to converse or transfer data between them.
And that got me thinking how similar this definition is to the daily functions performed by our recruiters. This may seem like an odd analogy, but our recruiters are the interface or go-betweens that communicate between the hiring managers and the candidates. They are the conduit through which the requirements, expectations, processes and procedures flow.
At SherlockTalent, our recruiters are the best equipped to accomplish this human API task because they have at their disposal, one of the most candidate rich databases in the region. This gives them a competitive edge and gives you the hiring manager a broader choice of talent.
