Dynamics AX 개발을 하다보면, SSAS(SQL Server Analysis Service)에 대해서 관심을 갖게 됩니다. 이유는 Cube가 무엇이고 어떻게 구성되어 있는지 궁금해 지기 때문입니다.

Cube에 대한 관심을 갖게 되는 순간, 우리가 부딪히게 되는 영역은 BI(Business Intelligence)라는 큰 영역에 들어가게 되고 그곳은 또 다른 세상인 것을 느끼며 포기하거나 메달리거나 하는 상황이 될 것 같습니다.

저도 Cube를 파고 싶다는 생각이 들어 아래 책을 공부하게 되었습니다.

MS에서 강조하고 있듯이 손쉽게 BI를 구축해 EIS(Executive Information System)과 같이 C-Level(경영진)에서 볼 수 있는 분석 리포트들을 만들 수 있다는 생각은 듭니다. 하지만, BI가 담고 있는 많은 개념과 시행착오를 거친 본인만의 Know-How를 쌓기까지는 많은 노력이 필요하지 않을까 싶습니다.

아래 책은 매 챕터가 끝나고 나면 실습을 해 볼 수 있는 내용들이 담겨 있어서 BI를 처음 접하는 개발자에게 많은 도움을 줄 것 같습니다.
