Microsoft Office PerformancePoint Server 2007

I am still in the press conference, Microsoft just introduced Ulf Hilton, Group Finance Manager of Oticon A/S a billion dollar revenue manufacturing firm located in Copenhagen with 4,800 employees with 50 subsidiaries in 24 countries.

Its no surprise that Oticon saw Microsoft as a good source for business intelligence based on the extensive Office install base they had throughout the company. I really think this is the linchpin for Microsoft. They own the world of office applications they are better positioned than anyone to bring business intelligence and performance management to companies. The Oticon story is pretty good. I am sure Microsoft will have white papers available soon the project will go live in early 08.
