Understanding the Microsoft BI Portal Capabilities

Business intelligence initiatives are often met with challenges. Getting the right information to the right people is often easier said than done. When implemented successfully, business intelligence solutions drive change; both in the way people work and the business decisions made.
For organizations capturing business data electronically, Microsoft provides a set of integrated business intelligence technologies. The presentation, “SharePoint and Business Intelligence: Understanding the Microsoft BI Portal Capabilities,” explains how to leverage your existing investment in Microsoft technology to manage data and support better business decision making.
The presentation focuses on the following Microsoft business intelligence tools:

  • Excel
  • Excel Services
  • Reporting Services
  • Reporting Services Report Builder
  • Performance Point
  • Enterprise Search

Next up is an informative “SharePoint BI Chalk Talk,” matching each information application (from static reports and dashboards to ad-hoc spreadsheets and dynamic charts/graphs) to the corresponding Microsoft BI tool. The presentation also explains how search fits into business intelligence: What is being indexed? What are BI artifacts? What defines “push” vs. “pull” search opportunities?
You can view the slides below:
