Business Intelligence Concepts provided by SharePoint 2010

1.  Dashboards & Scorecards

Microsoft BI dashboards and scorecards consolidate information from a variety of sources into a single, easy-to-use interface, and present the information in context where people need it most. Dashboards and scorecards can contain any type of information needed for your business, including contacts, calendars and messages.

You can easily create custom dashboards and scorecards to meet the unique needs of your employees and business.

2.  Collaboration/Search

Microsoft BI solutions make it easy to build collaboration tools to connect employees to the mission-critical information they need, in any location.

Through information portals, employees connect to data from multiple sources in multiple structured and unstructured formats, organised in consistent, easy-to-understand graphical tools.

3.  Managed Reporting

Microsoft BI solutions empower people to create, publish, and share their own commonly requested business reports in a centralised, managed and secure environment without requiring additional support from IT.
