PerformancePointy: Wade Dorrell's MSDN Blog

PerformancePoint just got sharper

We announced an update to the Microsoft BI roadmap today.

The video by Guy Weismantel, Director of Microsoft BI is the authoritative source on the change at the moment, and I expect there will be press release/FAQ at Microsoft PressPass (I don’t see it as of 2:20 Mountain Time). The mother load of discussion sources, if you can step carefully, are on FriendFeed:

Basically you’ll hear we’re moving the scorecard, dashboard, and analytics capabilities we ship today into SharePoint. If you know that product, you probably saw that one coming. You’ll also hear that the planning product is done. Maybe you saw that one coming, maybe you didn’t. There are some good investments that team’s made that I think you’ll see soon enough.

Where you think there is badness, there is goodness. And little dash of that ProClarity spirit, perhaps. I have a new name for this blog, but I can’t use it yet, so it’s staying “PerformancePointy” for now.

By stating that stripping all useful functionality off ProClarity Web (and call it PPS MA), discontinuing the ProClarity rich client and eliminating Planning is making PPS any sharper, is a bold statement and a long stretch.

Microsoft has booted as a serious contender in the arena of BPM, and left it to IBM, SAP and Oracle to own and control.
