The hightlight of this annoncement is that customers will be able to start data warehouse design with templates provided by Avanade, Hitachi Consulting and Cognizant and HP. Once I looked at them I will love to post how good/user friendly it is and how good the templates are at helping you in acheiving a data warehouse that satisfies your specific business needs.
