Here Comes the Mother Ship


Guy is not kidding when he says PerformancePoint is in full swing, two weeks ago was MGX (what Microsoft calls sales kickoff). The 15,000 person event was host to the latest and greatest product demos and feature the plans and strategy for the upcoming year. Included in the mix was a main stage demo of PerformancePoint Server tied together with the Microsoft Unified Communications products. The demo nicely tied together BI capabilities of scorecards, analytics, and planning with communications functionally via live meeting, instant messaging, and VOIP. If you’d like to get a good look at PerformancePoint, there’s a demo recording on YouTube from the recent Microsoft BI conference in Seattle featuring our good friend Bruno Aziza. There will be a continuous string of activities throughout the rest of 2007 and into 2008, so pack your bags and grab your favorite conference outfit, it’s gonna be a performance management boogie fest.
