A Business Intelligence Developer’s Best Friend

SQL Server, meet Business Intelligence Markup Language (Biml), the markup language and compiler that translate metadata into business intelligence solutions for the Microsoft SQL Server Platform. Biml is extended by BimlScript – inline .NET code – to quickly expand basic directives into relational models, Integration Services packages, Analysis Services Cubes, and more.

Slash Development Time with Code Generation

The advanced Biml with BimlScript allows you to turn tedious, repetitive work into reusable scripts that expand at compile time. Automate package generation and build reusable patterns for common BI tasks. Call or include other BimlScript to turn complex ETL patterns into simple, layered solutions.

One tool for your Relational Data Models, ETLs, and Cubes

Mist is an Integrated Development Environment for business intelligence and data integration with advanced code editors, visual designers, project management, live error reporting, and everything else you expect from a first class development tool. No more switching between multiple different tools – Mist handles the entire end-to-end process of BI, including source database importing, modeling, scripting, ETL, and cube development. With dockable windows, a unique package editor and almost no dialog boxes, Mist is easy to use, fast, and multi-monitor friendly.

Don’t Repeat Yourself

Complex business intelligence solutions can be a maintenance nightmare. Changing customer requirements, new data sources, schema changes, and even issues with the development tools can all take a toll on the maintainability of your solution. With Biml, every line of code you write is leveraged throughout the solution. Add a column to a table and we automatically rewrite your MERGE INTO statements. Reference a package from another package, and we’ll automatically detect file paths, even if the package is moved or your solution is restructured. Change data types, and we'll rewrite your data flows - no more corrupted SSIS metadata!

One Solution, Multiple Targets

SQL 2005, 2008, and 2008 R2? No problem! Mist can target any piece of your business intelligence solution for any flavor of the Microsoft SQL Server platform, and even multiple targets within the same solution.
