Most people prefer not having to learn complicated new applications. And organizations prefer to avoid investing IT hours and training time to support new tools that have little chance of widespread adoption.
The infrastructure of PerformancePoint Server 2007 is built directly into the environment on your desktop today—Microsoft Office. Your people will not have to learn new software. They can use applications they already know, like Microsoft Office Excel and Office SharePoint Server.
PerformancePoint Server 2007 is built on top of Microsoft SQL Server 2005, a proven platform for business intelligence, data integration, and reporting. SQL Server 2005 offers you a highly secure performance management environment and scales to support as many users as you want to include in the performance management process.
As the application layer behind the scenes, PerformancePoint Server 2007 provides the tools and connections to make Microsoft Office the interface for decision makers, SharePoint Server the way to deliver information, and SQL Server 2005 the data integration and collection engine.
PerformancePoint Server 2007 can help you pull all these components together to build and deploy an integrated performance management program
