In today’s economy, faster and more accurate decision making is essential to success. Unfortunately, the data we use to make these decisions is not always timely or dependable, making it difficult for business leaders to lead their business!

This is why the recent Microsoft decision to include PerformancePoint Server, their industry-leading Business Intelligence (BI) and Executive Dashboard Design Suite, as an included product with most Microsoft Enterprise SharePoint Server licenses, could be so important for you and your company’s future.

But why did Microsoft “give away” what used to sell for over $20,000?...According to Kristina Kerr, Microsoft’s Business Intelligence product manager, "we thought there was a much better way to achieve our goal of 'BI for the masses,' which is to make these features a seamless part of how they already work with SharePoint, SQL Server or Excel." *

In support of this goal, and as a service to the business leaders in West Michigan, CQL and Microsoft are presenting an opportunity for you to explore how this recent decision by Microsoft could benefit you and your business! In 90 minutes you will not only understand why Business Intelligence is critical to the success of your business, but you will also understand how easy it is to improve your business with information you already have on hand!
