Microsoft® PerformancePoint™ Server 2007

Microsoft Office PerformancePoint Server (PPS), with its suite of applications, servers, services, and tools, enables you to build a foundation of useful, actionable business information that pertains to business finance, business management, sales, marketing, manufacturing, and human resources. The PerformancePoint Server tools provide a way to monitor and analyze business data and critical assumptions and, most importantly, to reveal key business drivers and potential projections—enabling business managers to be proactive instead of reactive.

PPS is a very powerful integrated tool, and particularly cost effective in the market place. To enable you to get the most from this software (a specialist) implementation partner such as Altimus can really help.
