There are far more cool capabilities and reports in the final version of this accelerator than what we see in this video. <strong>&lt;/Alert&gt;</strong></p> <p><object data="data:application/x-silverlight," type="application/x-silverlight-2" width="320" height="240"> <param name="source" value="http://channel9.msdn.com/App_Themes/default/VideoPlayer.xap" /> <param name="initParams" value="m=mms://mschnlnine.wmod.llnwd.net/a1809/d1/ch9/3/2/0/8/4/4/CRMAcceleratorsAnalytics_s_ch9.wmv,autostart=false,autohide=true,showembed=true, thumbnail=http://mschnlnine.vo.llnwd.net/d1/ch9/3/2/0/8/4/4/CRMAcceleratorsAnalytics_large_ch9.jpg" /> <param name="background" value="#00FFFFFF" /> <a href="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=124807" style="text-decoration: none;"> <img src="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=108181" alt="Get Microsoft Silverlight" style="border-style: none" /> </a> </object></p> <p><a href="http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/girishr/CRM-Accelerators-Analytics/">CRM Accelerators: Analytics</a></p> <p>The analytics accelerator provides a set of Performance Dashboards and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for analyzing the data residing within the CRM platform. It utilizes SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) for creating OLAP cubes. SSAS is also used here for creating predictive analysis with some fully functional samples. The analytics accelerator will work with SQL Server 2005 with some components enhanced to take advantage of SQL Server 2008.</p> <p>Check out more Channel9 videos on <a href="http://channel9.msdn.com/tags/CRM+Accelerators">CRM Accelerators here</a> and please visit <a href="http://www.codeplex.com/crmaccelerators">http://www.codeplex.com/crmaccelerators</a> to download the accelerators.</p> <p>Happy coding!</p><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=9199406" width="1" height="1">CRMAcceleratorsChannel9SSRSSSASSQL Server
