I always enjoy presenting, Today’s topic was about management and administration of business intelligence solutions. The theme of the overall presentation was that although there are many ways to collect the meta data around our business intelligence solution, the data itself still lends itself to a dimensional structure, that we can use to model into various facts and dimensions.

As developers/administrators, it is our responsibility to ensure that we maintain and monitor this information to adhere to SLA’s and ensure timely performance. A overall diagram of the architecture would look like the below:
