crowsol Wow! What a great overview of Microsoft BI. Thank you for putting this series together.
Is Performance Point a replacement for ProClarity? -
ZachSkylesOwens This is a really good question and is asked frequently… In order to answer it correctly I wanted to get the answer right from the Performance Point Product team. Here is their response.
ProClarity Analytics Server 6.3 will continue to be a component that will be shipped with PerformancePoint Server through the Office 14 timeframe. In addition, ProClarity Desktop Professional 6.3 will be available for license off of Volume Licensing through the same timeframe. We intend to develop outstanding functionality found in these two products into future version releases of PerformancePoint Server and Office.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.

drakthos As mentioned this is a great overview. I've read quite a bit about the BI from Microsoft over the past few days and to see it in action really hammers home the capabilities.
A few things to highlight that I particularly enjoyed seeing were..
1) Excel integration through Pivot tables for end users
2) Business rules being set in the SSAS portion of the screen cast.
I cannot wait to watch the rest! -

ZachSkylesOwens There is apparently an issue with the way these videos are encoded and Silverlight player... You can watch these videos by clicking on the "Downloads" link then selecting "WMV". I'll see what I can do to get this fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience.
