This past week I presented on Microsoft Business Intelligence at the Huntsville SharePoint User Group, now officially known as the Rocket City SharePoint user Group.

In the presentation I went over the three main SQL Server Components (SSIS, SSAS, SSRS) and PerformancePoint.  Then we went through a live demo of importing some data into SQL Server with SSIS, building a data cube on it with SSAS, and making reports in SSRS and PerformancePoint.

The entire presentation lasted about an hour, and luckily didnt have any major hiccups.

   Hey Jeff. I think a custom web part is overkill for what you are looking to do. There is an out of the box web part called the Content Editor Webpart that you can use. In it you can put whatever you want in it (Text, HTML, Javascript, etc.) and it will display on the page. So in your instance, just add it and type in your warning/status message. Let me know if you run into issues.
