Model Comparison and Merging for Analysis Services
Relational-database schema comparison and merging is a well-established market. Leading products include SSDT Schema Compare and Redgate SQL Compare, which is partially integrated into Visual Studio. These tools are used by organizations seeking to adopt a DevOps culture to automate build-and-deployment processes and increase the reliability and repeatability of mission critical systems.
Comparison and merging of BI models also introduces opportunities to bridge the gap between self-service and IT-owned “corporate BI”. This helps organizations seeking to adopt a “bi-modal BI” strategy to mitigate the risk of competing IT-owned and business-owned models offering redundant solutions with conflicting definitions.
