DESCRIPTION:Sponsor: Computer Technology Solutions\nSpeaker: John Miller -
  Microsoft Technology Solutions Professional: BI\nTopic: Achieving Busines
 s Agility with PowerPivot and PowerView\n\nAchieving Business Agility with
  PowerPivot and PowerView\nMany vendors promise to deliver self-service 
 “Agile” BI\, but few actually offer a holistic solution. The majority 
 of self-service BI offerings work great on an individual’s desktop\, but
  things fall apart quickly when they attempt to share what was created wit
 h colleagues (team level collaboration). The real gap is discovered when y
 ou attempt to convert what an end user created (best practice) into a form
 al BI solution. Because most of these self-service BI vendors lack a robus
 t & mature server-side infrastructure\, they are woefully unprepared to su
 pport an enterprise deployment. What you soon discover to be missing are k
 ey “abilities” such as scalability\, availability\, manageability\, et
 c. needed to:\n• support 1000’s of end users\n• work with billions o
 f rows of data\n• provide 24x7x365 day uptime\n\nIn contrast\, Microsoft
  enables you to perform self-service “Agile” BI using the friendly\, f
 amiliar user interface of Excel using a free add-in called PowerPivot. Usi
 ng PowerPivot\, business users can acquire and mash-up data themselves to 
 perform self-service BI. If they later wish to share those findings with c
 olleagues\, PowerPivot spreadsheets can simply and easily be published to 
 SharePoint where your IT Dept is then able to manage and monitor what the 
 business has built. Assuming someone in the business just established a be
 st practice\, your IT Dept can easily take what started in PowerPivot and 
 turn that into a formal BI solution and deploy it on MSFT’s market leadi
 ng analytics engine SQL Server Analysis Services.\n\nPowerView affords a v
 isually stunning approach to building reports off of data that you’ve ma
 sh-up in PowerPivot. While most folks find Excel quite easy to use\, Power
 View affords you a blend of simplicity and power for creating reports that
  end users find extremely compelling. Built to be web-based\, model driven
 \, point & click reporting tool\, PowerView literally enables anyone withi
 n your organization to build and publish their own reports.\n\n

DESCRIPTION:May Luncheon Highlights Region’s Top Woman\, Top Leader in E
 conomic and Community Development\n\n\nPatsy Hazlewood\, Southeast Tenness
 ee’s Regional Director for Economic and Community Development\, will be 
 the featured speaker at the Chattanooga Technology Council’s Lunch & Lea
 rn Series on Wednesday\, May 16.\n\n \n\nThe luncheon takes place at 11:30
  am at the EPB Offices\, 10 West M.L. King Boulevard\, 7th Floor Conferenc
 e Room. It is free for CTC members\, $20 for non-members. To register\, go
  to www.ctcmay.eventbrite.com.\n\n \n\nSpeaking on High-Quality Jobs: Maki
 ng Tennessee No. 1 in the Southeast\, Mrs. Hazlewood will update participa
 nts on regional efforts to implement the Governor’s Jobs4TN Plan. In Jul
 y 2011\, Governor Bill Haslam named Mrs. Hazlewood to one of nine top econ
 omic development posts. As Regional Director\, she is the primary point-of
 -contact for Southeast Tennessee companies seeking state assistance with e
 xpansion or access to services.\n\n \n\nThis newly created position is par
 t of the Governor’s Jobs4TN plan\, introduced in April of last year. The
  plan focuses the efforts of Tennessee’s Department of Economic and Comm
 unity Development (ECD) on strategic business clusters where the state has
  a competitive advantage\; helping existing businesses to grow and expand\
 ; and adding resources and senior leadership to accomplish the long-standi
 ng goal of recruiting new businesses and jobs to Tennessee. A key foundati
 on of Jobs4TN is the decentralization of ECD into nine regions to better c
 oordinate state\, regional and local resources.\n\n \n\nThe Southeast Tenn
 essee Region\, of which Ms. Hazlewood oversees\, encompasses more than 617
 \,000 residents\, living in 10 counties (Hamilton\, Bledsoe\, Bradley\, Gr
 undy\, Marion\, McMinn\, Meigs\, Polk\, Rhea and Sequatchie).\n\n \n\nIn h
 er role\, she leads new efforts and initiatives in the region\, supports e
 xisting local economic development organizations\, and serves as an effect
 ive conduit between the state and regional and local stakeholders. She als
 o engages strategic partnerships that increase tech transfer from research
  institutions\; support innovation at regional business accelerators\; gen
 erate early state capital investment to support entrepreneurs\; and expand
  workforce development efforts.\n\n \n\nPrior to this position\, Mrs. Hazl
 ewood spent over 30 years in the telecommunications industry\, first with 
 BellSouth and later AT&T\, where she was assistant vice president for legi
 slative and external affairs for Southeastern Tennessee. She is an organiz
 er/director of CapitalMark Bank and Trust and a former board chair of the 
 Chattanooga Area Chamber of Commerce\, where she still serves on the board
 . Her other boards include:  The Enterprise Center\, United Way\, the Stad
 ium Corporation\, Speech and Hearing Center (vice chair)\, and Community F
 oundation (chair elect). In 2009\, she was the first woman to be elected p
 resident of the Chattanooga Rotary Club in the organization’s 96-year hi
 story. Recently\, she was named the 2012 Tennessee Woman of Distinction by
  the American Lung Association in Tennessee.
