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.

Why PerformancePoint Server?

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.
