Microsoft Drives Corporate Performance With Office PerformancePoint Server 2007

Overview

With hundreds of internal organizations and business groups, Microsoft Corporation found it challenging to ensure that everyone through every level of the enterprise was aligned with its business goals. Microsoft's business process relied largely on the various groups sharing targets and results by emailing standalone Excel files. This created concerns around data inaccuracies, inconsistencies and security. The perfect solution presented itself in Microsoft Office PerformancePoint Server 2007, an integrated performance management application with comprehensive capabilities that include budget and forecasting, which are essential for establishing the targets to support the company's strategies and objectives. Based on Microsoft Office and Microsoft SQL Server 2005, Office PerformancePoint Server 2007 also offers scalability, data management and security, and a familiar, easy-to use-interface for data entry using Microsoft Excel.
