Webcast: Performance Management with SharePoint PerformancePoint Services

With the inclusion of PerformancePoint Server in with SharePoint Enterprise suddenly pervasive BI (Business Intelligence) is a hot topic. Previously high end BI was only something extended to a select few within within an organization due to cost but now with its inclusion as a part of SharePoint Enterprise everyone in an organization can take advantage of these powerful tools. Join me this week for the SharePoint Weekly Webcast and Microsoft partner Analytic Vision as we dive in to Performance Management with SharePoint PerformancePoint Services. In this session we will see how you can leverage and extend your investment in SharePoint to:

  • Help employees quickly access information and identify trends and anomalies as they occur.
  • Improve organizational performance through greater visibility and access to critical information.
  • Drive alignment, accountability, and actionable insight across the entire organization.

During this presentation you will see how your organization can gain all of the functionality that is needed for performance management, including scorecards, dashboards, management reporting, analytics, planning, budgeting, and consolidation. Learn how you can develop your next performance management application that will reach ALL employees across all business functions (finance, operations, marketing, sales, and human resources).

The session will be this Thursday from 12pm (noon) eastern time until 1pm. So pack your lunch, fire up the PC and see you online. Tiy will find the LiveMeeting log-in information below as well as the iCal download.

Perf Point Not "included" in SharePoint

There's a problem with statements like this

"With the inclusion of PerformancePoint Server in with SharePoint Enterprise"

The problem is that the "inclusion" is purely a licensing one.

The two products are still two products, all that has happened is that license one of them and you can use the other one (I never know if this works both ways!).

Why this is a problem for me is that suddenly people have started Performance Point Server questions to the (Microsoft) SharePoint forums.

There are Performance Point Server forums and logically - *as this is still a separate product* - Performance Point Server questions should still go there !!

Licensing amendments don't change the basic fact that these are still two completely different (sets of) products.

P.S. This situation may change in v4 of SharePoint which is supposed to include at least some of the functions now in Perf. Point Server, but that's a question for another day.

Re: Perf Point Not "included" in SharePoint

While I see your point about how to call out the inclusion and where to direct discussions I respectfully disagree about not citing it as a part of SharePoint. If you are looking at any real Enterprise installation of SharePoint where you move beyond a mere single server instance you are looking at a break out and installation of seperate services with dedicated hardware and specific functions and skillsets. When addressiong PerformancePoint from a capabilty standpoint it is from a user standpoint due to the licensing changes now just another part of SharePoint Enterprise. From an operational and support end it does indeed need to be addressed seperately but I would argue that this is the case for any of the SharePoint workloads where I have been saying that it is an infrastructure and not a product for some time. The skillsets and approach to implementing Search are vastly different that records management which is in turn vastly different that web content management which is in turn vastly different from forms services which is different from BDC, etc. They are all part of of SharePoint the "Product" but all require specific skillsets and architectural considerations in order to implement properly and the inclusion of PerformancePoint within the product licensing is the same in this regard IMHO.
