Business Intelligence: Fraud Detection in a Life Insurance Company Using Data Mining..

That (the subject) is the topic of a project I need to write. It looks like a big deal to me, since my knowledge of SQL is very basic, but from all that I have read, it looks like the key to this is SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS). Within the next one week, I will really put some time into this and make sure I get what I need to do in clear outlines.

I'v got 3 great books I am tearing into for this: Microsoft SQL Server 2008 All In One Reference For Dummies (well, am still a little bit of a dummy in this), Delivering Business Intelligence with SQL Server 2008, and Smart Business Intelligence Solutions with Microsoft SQL Server 2008. Between this great books, I just shouldn't go wrong.

I got the source database and today, I will try and identify the table so I know where the data to use are. That shouldn't be so difficult since I have full access (I think) to the original software developer and the rapport is ok. I will keep the blog posted on my progress.

First Moblog!

Checking out moblog from my phone (Sony Ericsson Xperia X1,WinMo 6.1)...trying to see which does fine between moblog and writer for mobile.. (Next post)..Tblogger apparently doesn't work with blogger or require some more setup, which I don't have the patience for.
