We have been doing a lot of work on pulling social media data into the enterprise and using it against our traditional data warehouses to find some new insights. It can be quite interesting to pull twitter traffic on a product and tying that to retail sales and seeing the correlation between the...

I don’t know about you, but all the so called “DASHBOARD” solutions I have been seeing the last several years are really not well designed. What happened to the creative minded people? We have been very busy working on a new retail business intelligence portal leveraging a lot of different...

Just read this article about collaboration and time lost. They say a person looses over $3,300 a year looking for information. That is probably about right. Our solution Extended Outlook and Extended Excel retrieves a large portion of that lost ROI and we have proven it several...

SharePoint upgrade from 2007 to 2010 is a fairly straightforward process in comparison to the Performance Point 2007 to 2010 migration. Performance Point pages will migrate to 2010, however, all dashboards will be broken. The recommended solution is to repost a new dashboard on top of the old once. Data...

Performance Point 2010 is completely redesigned in order to play nice with SharePoint. This actually introduces a very interesting workflow for authoring PPS dashboards. All PPS objects are stored in a SharePoint List and are manageable in there. For example you can create new a Data Source connection...

I'm enjoying being in Las Vegas - attending Microsoft SharePoint 2009 conference. I'm going to present my personal view on this event not in any way associated with Microsoft, its partners and employees. :-) I'll try to keep up with events here, however...

Like a lot of people out there wondering if SharePoint 2010 is worth the upgrades, all I have to say is a big YES. I have been playing around with the beta and the usability improvements are a big plus. Not sure how much I can talk about it, but we are busy at Extended Results building...

Well we are having a great time at the Microsoft Worldwide Partner conference here in New Orleans. Microsoft has been showing off some of the great new features coming in Windows 7 and Office 2010. They haven't shown any information on SharePoint or PerformancePoint. They are keeping it all quiet...

Open SharePoint Designer and open your SPS site Create an ASP.NET page Drag and drop your document library onto the page Attach the SPS stylesheet so it looks pretty Save it to the...

If you want your credentials to pass throughout all your servers for PPS to work correctly, you really need to enable Kerbero's. I found a couple great articles that explain this and the process to do it. Enjoy... http://blogs.msdn.com/martinkearn/archive/2007/04/23/configuring-kerberos-for-sharepoint...

Since PPS M&A requirements SharePoint, I bet you find yourself doing a lot of SharePoint setup and development. I found the following link today that I have found kind of useful. http://sharepoint.microsoft.com/Pedia/pages/home.aspx

PPS M&A requires AJAX v1.0 installed. Well, recently Microsoft released the .NET Framework 3.5 which includes the AJAX. Well, on a couple of my server rebuilds using .NET Framework 3.5, SharePoint runs just fine. But, when I install PPS M&A, it crashes the SharePoint page on startup. When I uninstalled...
