Summary


In this chapter, we covered the current market trends and business requirements for predictive data analysis, which is also called data mining. In order to deploy a successful data mining model, you need to have a clear idea of your end goal, develop a thorough understanding of the data that you are dealing with, transform and clean the data accordingly, and last but not least develop a mining algorithm. In the next chapter, we will take a look at the different tools that SQL Server offers to help develop a data mining model. The SQL Server Business Intelligence suite provides a rich set of components, which could be used at different stages of data modeling. The next chapter will focus on a few of those commonly used tools of the trade, such as SQL Server Integration Services, SQL Server Analysis Services, and SQL Server Reporting Services.
