Another release point for PerformancePoint
MS-Watch | at | by Mike
Today, Microsoft released Office PerformancePoint Server 2007 CTP 3. Geez, is that a mouthful, or what? The software is available at Microsoft Connect; Microsoft claims about 6,000 testers.
PerformancePoint Server is just one small piece of the vertical stack, going from the server to the desktop, that will make up Microsoft's business intelligence solution.
In the absence of other crucial elements to its business intelligence strategy, like SQL Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008, Microsoft is touting lots about PerformancePoint Server 2007. Combined with Office 2007 and SharePoint 2007, PerformancePoint Server is akin to three finished rooms of a new house under construction. What's done looks good, but would you want to live there?
