What is PerformancePoint Server?
If you have heard of Microsoft Office PerformancePoint Server 2007,
you'll know that it is changing soon and becoming an
integrated part of Microsoft SharePoint Server.
However, the integrated version will still deliver a
comprehensive performance management solution that allows
organisations to formulate strategy, drive execution and
more effectively monitor performance though integrated
monitoring, analytics, and planning capabilities.
Monitoring and measuring performance results are key
functions of any successful business. PerformancePoint
Services enables your staff to define and use scorecards
and key performance indicators (KPIs) to drive
accountability and alignment across the organisation.
Rich visualisation and up-to-date performance
dashboards and scorecards help these workers align their
actions with strategic goals. Staff can create analytics
that include graphs, key performance indicators (KPIs),
and data grids, and use advanced visualisation
functionalities. These rich capabilities help users
rapidly identify trends, opportunities, and even threats
to the operations hidden within large quantities of
data.
Monitor
Analysis capabilities span from
personal performance dashboards to
formal methodology-based and cascading
scorecards.
Access to a wide range of structured
and unstructured data-sources enables a
more comprehensive dashboarding and
scorecarding experience (OLAP,
Relational, and Office).
Contextual KPIs and reports reflect
changes of planning, budgeting and
forecasting data.
Rich capabilities can be deployed
quickly and cost-effectively (Strategy
Maps, MOSS connectivity).
Built-in templates and wizards allow
users to quickly build and share
dashboards and scorecards.
Analyse
Users can build, share and manage
their analysis without the need for
coding.
Web-based analytics provides access
to information to the right people at
the right time.
Guided and contextual analysis can
be gained through the tight integration
between KPIs and analytics within the
same performance dashboards.
Analytics span from multidimensional
slice and dice to rich functionality
like drill-across, drill-to-detail,
pivoting, root-cause analysis, and
prediction.
Plan
Business users can design models the
way they think about their business,
incorporating standard financial
functionality. Capabilities range from
single model deployments to enterprise
scenarios.
Top-down and bottom-up planning
functionality connects people and drives
accountability. Dynamic and standard
reports include financial and business
performance reports.
Process management features enable
business users to manage forms,
workflows, submissions, approvals,
reports and annotations.
Management and GAAP consolidation
processes are supported with multiple
currency conversions, inter-company
eliminations and reconciliations, and
multi-tier allocations.
Reports can be published from
Microsoft Office Excel to Reporting
Services and Microsoft Office Server,
providing consistency of experience for
report consumers.
Users work within a secure and
auditable environment.
The following are just some of the benefits of using
PerformancePoint Server, although there are many more
quoted on Microsoft's website. TCS Computer
Services can help your organisation realise these
benefits by building a robust, scalable and responsive
solution that provides in-depth performance analysis.
Drive Strategy
Align activity across the enterprise.
The model-driven approach in PerformancePoint
Server 2007 makes it easy to create corporate-wide
models across multiple business operations.
By providing synchronised models up, down and
across the organisation, all users can easily get a
consistent view of organisational performance.
Organisations benefit when strategy and
accountability can be driven across all departments:
fee earners, project managers, marketing, sales,
finance, HR, security, IT, and other groups
can all benefit from sharing a easy-to-use
analytical platform.
Tailored to You
Flexibility and personalisation.
PerformancePoint Services empowers users by
providing a flexible, end user focused development
environment with extensive out-of-the-box
functionality for defining and creating scorecards.
The rich personalised interface and flexible
presentation makes it easy to visualise strategy and drill
down into reports to see lower levels of detail.
The
user-friendly design, wizards, and familiar
Microsoft Office environment empower all users to
quickly build, personalise, manage, and use
scorecards, while focusing on getting results, instead
of on the tools.
Familiar Platform
Built on the Microsoft BI platform.
Unlike many competing performance management
solutions that use disparate technologies and
require costly integration, PerformancePoint Server
takes advantage of the reliability, security, high
performance, and scalability of Microsoft SQL
Server™.
In addition, PerformancePoint Server works well
with the widely used and supported Microsoft Office
system environment, making broad adoption possible,
and enabling performance management to become
cost-effective organisation-wide.
Free Up IT
Enhances the partnership with IT
PerformancePoint Server 2007 accommodates
advanced business rules, logic, calculations and
workflows, making it easy for users to define,
customise, modify, and maintain their performance
plans, dashboards, scorecards and analytics.
Business users can perform analysis in a
self-serve mode and work with information in the way
they think about their business.
This frees up IT to focus on critical
infrastructure, security and compliance needs.
