This series of video sessions will demonstrate how to create a business intelligence solution with sets of business data from multiple sources. In the first session, I import business records from 5 different D&B data feeds using the Windows Azure Marketplace with desktop BI tools in Excel 2013 ProPlus. In future sessions, I will combine public data sets, use features of Power BI and migrate to an enterprise scale BI solution with SQL Server, SSAS tabular and SharePoint.
D&B data fees in the Windows Azure Marketplace can be used to get detailed, current demographic and financial information about specific businesses or companies in different regions and categories. These business records can be used for things like market analysis, sales, verification and research.

Hi Paul. I’m not able to access/see the video link. I’m using IE11.
Thanks, Carla. My ScreenCast account had reached a monthly limit so I guess it’s had more than just a few views. It should be good now.
