The practice of Business Intelligence lives at the intersection of strategic, operational and tactical business decisions and the information that drives them. The critical function in this area is the delivery of information in a manner than enables your business community to measure, analysis and make the daily decisions necessary. SharePoint 2012 PerformancePoint Services provides a robust platform to facilitate the delivery of this information. In this session, we will explore PerformancePoint and how you can connect data from disparate data sources in the Dashboard Designer to deliver advanced reports, dashboards and scorecards. Features such as implementing KPIs/Indicators, designing reports or dashboards and working with filters will all be covered in this demo-centric presentation.
