Já tinha gostado também de outra apresentação sua que ia no sentido dos programadores não perderem tempo no processo de ETL com tarefas repetitivas, mas sim nos verdadeiros desafios. Se pudesse escolher uma palavra para ambas as apresentações que tive o privilégio de assistir, diria “agilizar”. E espero sinceramente que a MS caminhe nesse sentido.
Aproveitando esta questão de agilização, perguntava-lhe, dada a sua vasta experiência, se já viu alguma solução ágil de ter um cenário de testes e produção quando se trata de BI. Simplesmente não me faz grande sentido andar a replicar trabalho. Se tiver de alterar alguma estrutura de dados, instalar alguma funcionalidade, etc. Será a minha inexperiência a falar e já existiram mecanismos ágeis de replicação? Colocar algo em produção parece sempre um pesadelo…

I used ShrewSoft client as an alternative, but the ShrewSoft just stoped work from today. Previously, I tried many times to install Cisco VPN, but without success. Now it’s working perfekt.
