I was not surprised rather depressed until yesterday when I read something about BISM i.e. Business Intelligence Semantic Model. It was not BISM which astonished me but BISM superseding MDX/ UDM.
Denali, the new product by Microsoft is successor to SQL Server 2008 R2. There are/should be huge changes in this much awaited release but BISM is something which is drawing attention from most of us. It looks a different paradigm with widely used jargons like DAX, VertiPaq, Powerpivot etc.
It'd be too early to comment whether MDX/UDM would be dead soon or not but what I feel is that they will be amongst us for at least half a decade if not the whole! What important is at this point of time, as an MSBI developer, what should be our approach? I guess peeping out to new concepts like DAX, Power Pivot, VetriPaq, BISM etc. wouldn't be harmful. Adapting new techonology quickly and in right now is the right approach and we should do it now!
