Integrated Performance Management with PerformancePoint Server 2007

 Interview with Microsoft general manager Bill Baker about a subtly significant new Microsoft offering.

Today Microsoft moved one step closer to its official entry into the performance management space by announcing the release of the first Community Technology Preview (CTP) of its new performance management application.

Slated for general availability in mid-2007, PerformancePoint Server is a highly-integrated performance management application, driven by the SQL Server platform and familiar Microsoft Office front end, allowing corporations to monitor, analyze, plan and make critical business decisions based on reliable data from all aspects of the company. Partners, customers and end-users are encouraged to visit the Web site at http://connect.microsoft.com/site/sitehome.aspx?SiteID=181 to download the application to begin building plans in a real-world environment and testing the overall power of the product for themselves.
