Business Intelligence Portal Sample Application for Microsoft Office 2003

The business intelligence portal sample application for Microsoft Office 2003 is an integrated, customizable, multilingual, Web-based OLAP solution that enables employees in an organization to create and share structured views (OLAP and Relational) and unstructured views (Documents and URLs), based on various data sources, such as SQL Server 2000 Analysis Services, offline cube files, relational databases, SQL Server Reporting Services reports, spreadsheet data files, XML Web services, XML files, and any requested URL.
The business intelligence portal is entirely built on top of Microsoft Windows® SharePoint® Services. It extends Office Web components capabilities, and uses SQL Server Reporting Services. The BIP Viewer is a smart Web Part that can show multiple views from multiple sources and filter data based on Web Part connections with other Web Parts such as the Business Scorecard accelerator.
The business intelligence portal also contains an add-in for Office 2003, that enables end users to consume reports and OLAP-based views (charts and PivotTable reports) directly into Microsoft Outlook®, Microsoft PowerPoint®, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft Word documents. This can streamline their daily work, and enhance their business productivity.
