TechNet Webcast: Driving Business Performance with Microsoft Business Intelligence (Level 200)  

Many surveys today list business intelligence (BI) at the top of software spending priorities for companies of all sizes. Yet, despite the time, money, and resources aligned against the goal of making better business decisions, companies do not yet have a solution that lets them address these issues in a strategic fashion. Attend this webcast to understand how Microsoft is challenging our customers to "think bigger" about business intelligence, move beyond the rigid tools and applications they are using today, and utilize our integrated solution of Microsoft Office Business Applications, Office SharePoint Server 2007, Microsoft SQL Server, and PerformancePoint Server to provide an unbeatable combination of tools and applications that helps individuals, teams, and organizations reach their full potential.
