PerformancePoint Services for SharePoint

Executive SummaryMicrosoft recently made a strategic decision to consolidate the scorecard, dashboard and analytical capabilities of Office Perfor-mancePoint server into Microsoft SharePoint Server Enterprise.

Known as PerformancePoint Services, a technology with powerful Monitoring and Analytics capabilities is now included with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, Enterprise Edition. This is especially good news for organizations that are already on SharePoint service agreements since Microsoft allows them to deploy PerformancePoint capabilities at no additional cost.

Doing more with Less Microsoft’s strategic decision to compliment SharePoint with the powerful monitoring and analysis capabilities of Performan-cePoint Services, benefits not only organizations that already have existing investments in SharePoint Server, SQL Server, and Excel but also those who are seeking to re-tool their business intelligence capabilities.

This consolidation has potential to address two prohibitive issues often at the root of low adoption rates of Business Intel-ligence (BI) solutions. Namely,

Expense of licensing additional seats •Learning curve required to become a proficient user•

These typical BI pain points are alleviated by the combined effect of competitive pricing, and the solution’s tight integra-tion with everyday & familiar tools of Microsoft Office. Among others, this solution integrates seamlessly with Microsoft’s Excel which is often employed by nearly all levels of an organization to support the simplest to the most complex business intelligence, analytics & planning tasks.
