Customer Reviews

PPS 2007

I like the book. The section beginning on page 215 was especially useful since there is a definite lack of information regarding Performance Point Server 2007. I liked this more than the Rational series because it was presented more clearly and easier to read. I recommend it to anyone interested in PPS 2007.

Best guide to PPS2007

This is a great guide for PPS2007. Craig Utley has done a thorough job covering PPS Monitoring & Analytics and Sony Jose's section on PPS Planning is very helpful. Solid Quality Mentors distributes this book to students of PPS2007 classroom courses as post-training reference material. Enjoy! --Douglas McDowell, SQL Server MVP

Excellent overview of PerformancePoint and BI

This is an excellent text if you are looking into moving toward the Microsoft BI platform. The book starts with a nice introduction which includes an overview of data warehousing, ETL, and cube creation. It then moves into quite a bit of detail with PerformancePoint. Craig has a very conversational style of writing which was very much appreciated. (sometimes these types of books can be very dry) Overall I would recommend this to anyone looking to purchase or implement PerformancePoint.
