The partnership

As early innovators developing performance management solutions in conjunction with Microsoft, our team was asked to implement the first production instance of PerformancePoint, Microsoft’s performance management application platform, for their Finance division.

We have also been members of Microsoft’s Business Intelligence Partner Advisor Council since inception. As a result, Insight Solutions has significant experience delivering successful PerformancePoint solutions to a large share of Microsoft’s early adopter and strategic customer base, and our team has more EXPERIENCE (not just training) with Microsoft PerformancePoint than any other partner.

The platform

Insight Solutions leverages Microsoft’s business intelligence platform to deliver pervasive performance management because it provides the entire enterprise with an infrastructure that drives better decisions and supports all facets of BI. How?

1. By enabling performance management technology where the majority of users want it – inside of Excel and/or a portal. Users shouldn’t have to jump out of their BI tool and get back into their productivity app when they uncover some new insight.



2. By offering a business intelligence infrastructure that scales to the enterprise



3. By pricing this platform so that an organization can finally afford to provide BI and performance management across the enterprise.

The tools

Microsoft makes performance management easy by leveraging many of the tools you use every day:

• Microsoft Excel is the world's No. 1 personal BI productivity tool.
• SharePoint Server offers team and organizational collaboration capabilities.
• PerformancePoint Server provides performance management capabilities for the entire organization.
• SQL Server is the foundation for Microsoft BI, providing the infrastructure to bring everything together through its integration, reporting, and analysis capabilities.
