We are very pleased to have just launched our new web site, and to celebrate this we were offering the first 100 persons who registered a chance to take advantage of a free 3-months’ worth of access to paid content, which we plan to offer later this year. As we have reached, and more than exceeded that quota, this promotion has now been closed. Nevertheless, you can still register a free account, which will give you access to the BI and other resources available on our site. 

About Our Plans: Upcoming Videos & Training

Shortly, we will publish videos and articles focussing on Business Intelligence and database technologies. At first, we plan to offer a few high-level demos showing the capabilities of Microsoft BI platform. Those videos will be 100% based on a real, live demo running on a full, up-to-date stack consisting of Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2, Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010, and Microsoft Office 2010. Those videos will be free to watch, but they will require you to have registered on this web site.

Later in the year, we will start publishing high-quality full-length training videos and other course material. At first, we will focus on teaching you some of the most powerful techniques, such as Data Mining and Predictive Analysis. It is very difficult to find good training material on those subjects, and Project Botticelli is planning to change that. We will continue to publish more training courses and conference-style presentations immediately afterwards.

Those videos will require a paid membership, and we will publish more information about the prices and plans later in the year. However, if you want to get access free-of-charge when this content launches, make sure to register now to take advantage of the free 3-month subscription offer.

Free 3-Month Subscription Offer (Offer Now Closed)

All you need to do is to register an account, activate it (you will get the usual activation link by email), and make sure to watch at least one of our videos in full. If you have done that, provided you were one of the first 100 users to accomplish those tasks, you will receive an email confirmation about your free subscription when we launch the paid services. The subscription will expire 3 months after the first paid content has been launched, which we expect to offer later in the year. Because we do not want to spam you with unnecessary emails, we will only send this confirmation when the services have been launched. If you would like to be notified of new content, however, feel free to subscribe to our Newsletter (select the option when you register, or go to “My Account” and click on “Newsletters” tab), or simply take the RSS feed from the News page.

In the meantime, please have a browse through our existing content from previous seminars and conferences, perhaps download some of our PPTs, and feel free to leave comments and suggestions. Above all, if you find anything that does not work on the site as you would expect it to, we would be very grateful to hear from you. Testing is never too easy.

Good luck and see you around!
