However, in reality, it is three products in one, and only one of the products Pis truly new. PerformancePoint Server 2007 is a tool designed to support the cycle of monitoring the health of the organization, analyzing the organization’s data at a detailed level, and planning for the future so that monitoring can continue as the future slides into the present and then the past. PerformancePoint Server 2007 represents an attempt by Microsoft to bring together tools that provide companies with greatly enhanced business intelligence capabilities. Two of the pillars of PerformancePoint Server provide tools that support different types of users, such as analysts and business decision makers, while the third pillar moves beyond delivering data to the organization to supporting the planning, budgeting, and forecasting efforts of the organization. The budgeting and forecasting data can become part of the process, so that actual performance is compared to the forecasts and so that the health of the business can be monitored. Variances in performance from the plan can be easily analyzed in detail to determine the source of any variances. What Is PerformancePoint Server 2007? Microsoft Office PerformancePoint Server 2007 is a concept with a bit of a split personality.

  • Turning Data to Insight BI January 2009
    TURNING DATA TO INSIGHT MICROSOFT BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE: A PRIMER FOR BUSINESS DECISION MAKERS 6 Antares Drive, Phase 1, Suite 200, Ottawa, ON K2E 8A9 Canada Tel: 613.232.4295 Fax: 613.232.7276 www.crgroup.com INTRODUCTION The twenty-first century belongs to the agile enterprise: organizations that gain insight from their data then act with speed and decisiveness. Today, less than ten percent of organizations are satisfied when it comes to providing decision makers with easy and timely access to enterprise data. According to Betsy Burton, VP Distinguished Analyst, Gartner, “Many business managers find themselves overwhelmed with a plethora of data and content, but, due to a lack of access, consistency and quality, they are unable to actually use this information to drive their business."1 Many business intelligence (BI) vendors have provided solutions to deal with the challenge of providing timely and accurate enterprise data; Microsoft® is now making a serious entry into the market. Armed with a product arsenal that includes Microsoft SQL Server™ 2005, Microsoft Office® 2007, Microsoft Excel® 2007, ProClarity™ Analytics 6 and Microsoft Office PerformancePoint™ Server 2007, the BI landscape has changed significantly, seemingly overnight.2 “We will also see an aggressive push from Microsoft this year, seriously entering the market with their launch of Microsoft Excel Services as part of Office 2007 and the associated PerformancePoint Server applications that will use Excel. This will be particularly attractive for small and medium sized businesses as standard BI functionality applications suddenly become available at a reasonable price.”3 The following paper is intended to provide an overview of the Microsoft Business Intelligence solution and Corporate Renaissance Group’s approach for implementing business intelligence platforms.
