Donatas Sedys's List: SharePoint

If your work is  anything like mine, then you probably need to look at business information a  little more closely, review new data points, and share business information you  didn’t have to prepare before. Lots of people are talking about the importance  of business intelligence in this economic climate. Now, business intelligence  might seem like some sort of complex job responsibility, but you probably  already use data of some sort to make business decisions and share that  information with colleagues and management, and that means you’re already doing  business intelligence!

If you’re being  asked to use business data to make better, faster, and more relevant decisions;  proactively share business data with colleagues and management; or monitor and  report on the performance of your team or organization, come check out the new  Business Intelligence page on Office  Online to learn how the technologies you have today can enable people at all  levels of a business make better decisions. The new Business Intelligence page  on Office  Online can help to get you started using Excel as a front end to analyze  data, SharePoint Server to share business data with colleagues, and  PerformancePoint Server to monitor and analyze performance.

And some of you  might ask, what is PerformancePoint Server? If you haven’t seen PerformancePoint  in action, check out this virtual  lab for creating a corporate performance dashboard that publishes to  SharePoint. But wait, there’s more! As of April 1, SharePoint Server customers  with software assurance can now get PerformancePoint Server for free! To see if  you qualify, visit PerformancePoint  Integration with SharePoint.
