This course presents a typical project implementation timeline and discusses design considerations for optimization and reporting needs. It teaches you how to identify benefits of model structure variations with respect to utilization of dimensional modeling techniques.
Learn how to
- vary the model structure to meet your reporting requirements
- use resource planning to predict cost needs based on demand
- use an advanced method to define costs and attributes
- manage your model data effectively
- sustain, validate, and optimize your model.
Who should attend
Experienced model builders responsible for creating and maintaining SAS Activity-Based Management models
