SQL Server 2014 Upgrade Sessions on the Microsoft Virtual Academy

It was a great honor to be asked to join my associates from SolidQ at the Microsoft Virtual Academy Studios in Redmond and talk about how to upgrade to SQL Server 2012 and 2014.  These recordings, which are also on my YouTube Channel, include the material I covered in these sessions.  The entire series of studio presentations are hosted on Channel 9 and here at the MVA with accompanying assessment surveys and resources.

In these studio sessions, I am joined by my fellow authors of the 429 page SQL Server 2014 Upgrade Technical Guide; Richard Waymire, Ron Talmage and Jim Miller from SolidQ.  Jim and I were responsible for the Business Intelligence content.  In our sessions Jim covered SSIS and SSAS Multidimensional, and I covered SSAS Tabular, BI tools and SSRS.  In this edited portion of the SSAS session, Jim begins with a brief summary of multidimensional upgrade options and I continue to discuss opportunities to implement SSAS Tabular solutions.  BI topics apply equally to SQL Server 2012 and 2014 upgrades.
