About the Author
Shahar Prish (Redmond, WA) is originally from Tel-Aviv, Isreal and always dreamed
of becoming a Microsoft employee. He worked for a company that developed Data
Visualization applications over Analysis Services (MS’s OLAP Server), which
was eventually purchased by Microsoft. The company extended job offers to the
original employees, and several months later the company shipped Max 3.0, which
was re-branded as Microsoft Data Analyzer. After that, Shahar and his family
moved from Tel-Aviv to Redmond to work for Microsoft. A few months before work
began on the Office 2007 rollout, the concept of an Excel Services server started
to form, and Shahar was moved to work specifically on that product development.
Throughout the past 5 years, Shahar has worked with some of the best and the
brightest to develop the first version of the revolutionary Excel Services.
He provides information and previews of Excel Services through his blog: http://blogs.msdn.com/cumgranosalis.
