Ok so it took me some time to write post event info on my last speaking event (better very late than never), namely: "Developing Business Intelligence Solutions with SharePoint 2007 and PerformancePoint 2007" ( http://dotnet.org.za/zlatan/archive/2008/04/04/developing-business-intelligence-solutions-with-sharepoint-2007-and-performancepoint-2007.aspx ) We've had a smaller crowd this time, mostly due to the session being organised right in the middle of the holidays but our diehard fans...

Microsoft Office Interactive Developer Map

If you're an Office (OBA, SharePoint 2007, PerformancePoint 2007, Unified Communications, Groove, Project Server, Visio, etc etc) Developer , you're going to love this application. It's very useful, especially to people that are still grasping how the full Office offering from Microsoft works (Enterprise Content Management, Business Intelligence, etc etc) and also, it's also quite funky to use. Here's the link: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/office/bb497969.aspx "The Microsoft...

Business Productivity Infrastructure Optimization University (BPIO U) Online

This is invaluable for your sales people. Since Microsoft decided to, not just tap, but actually make a strong presence in the Enterprise Content Management and Performance Management (Business Intelligence) Market, and for some Partners here locally that were more infrastructure and some Web Content Management (old SP 2003) orientated this practically happened over night. Although now more and more of the MS Partners are trying to venture into this space and have done great job of skilling up their...

PerformancePoint Server 2007 and how it positions itself with the rest of the Microsoft BI offering

Remember my last blog entry when I talked about Sharepoint 2007 Excel Services and Excel ? The stack looked something like the one below: By adding PerfomrancePoint Server Microsoft is adding a new layer to the stack that addresses Performance Management. Microsoft wants to make BI more complete, more corporate and more accountable. By more complete, they mean more subject areas and the whole BI process. They need to break these down separately. Most users, when they do personal BI, generally consume...

My upcoming internal PerformancePoint Server 2007 Presentation and Demo

Since I'm busy putting a demo together for PerformancePoint Server 2007 CTP2 (released on 10 th of April 2007) I've come to realize what a beast it actually is. Knowing basically that the merge of Business Scorecard Manager 2005, Proclarity 6.2, Office 12, SharePoint 2007 and SQL 2005 technologies gave birth to this monster I never quite expected for it to be light on resources or for that fact enjoy being installed on one box alone. To put everything into perspective, the kind of solutions...
