Project Gemini was announced at the second annual Microsoft BI Conference in Seattle on October 6, 2008, and there is no doubt that it was the highlight of the three-day conference. The Gemini code-name is meant to imply that Excel and Analysis Services, and end-users and IT, will be twinned using the new product, but our pun (‘BOTH’) reflects the view that Gemini appears to be both a brilliant way of introducing Analysis Services to Excel users and some rather smart technology.
