Business Intelligence with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 provides an infrastructure that makes it easy for decision-makers to access information anytime, anywhere. People can get up-to-date information where they work, collaborate, and make decisions, whether it's on the desktop or over the Web.
Microsoft Office Excel-Based Business Intelligence
Excel Services, part of Office SharePoint Server 2007, extends the capabilities of Microsoft Office Excel 2007 by allowing broad sharing of spreadsheets, improved manageability and security, and the ability to reuse spreadsheet models by using a scalable, server-based calculation service and interactive Web-based user interface.
Dashboards and Report Center
Create rich, interactive Business Intelligence (BI) dashboards that assemble and display business information from disparate sources by using built in Web parts. These Web parts include dynamic key performance indicators (KPIs), Office Excel 2007 spreadsheets, Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services reports, and a collection of business data connectivity Web Parts that can visualize information that resides in back-end line-of-business applications.
