A new book dedicated to Business Intelligence design and concepts for Silverlight - Silverlight 4 Business Intelligence Software - is coming out in August. The author Bart Czernicki reveals how RIA technologies such as Microsoft Silverlight can be used to transform traditional user-interfaces filled with boring data into fully interactive analytical applications that quickly deliver insight from large data sets.

Targeted at developers, designers and architects, but useful also to BI consultants and CTOs, the book will guide you to unlock the rich intelligence you already have.
