Q&A PerformancePoint Launch Press Conference

Jeff Raikes, President of the Microsoft Business Division is answering questions here is an abbreviated recap:

Questions
1. What type of company is Microsoft targeting with the solutions? - Both Enterprise and mid-market segments. Raikes mentioned that he believes the feature set of the BI offerings will accommodate both type of companies.

2. Tell us more about pricing - list price per user for PP is $200 per user the pricing is allowing prospects to entertain a more widely spread business intelligence initiative.

3 What are the partner opportunities around the BI offerings - Business Process consulting and deployment are great opportunities.

Overall the call was very interesting and as I said in my initial posting its going to be an interesting year for pervasive business intelligence.
