Microsoft Business Intelligence on the Horizon

July 31, 2009

Coming “someday” from Microsoft: Business intelligence. Computerworld reports that BI and analytics will be included in Windows Azure, internet-scale cloud services platform, but it’ll be a wait. Microsoft won’t have it ready until 2013 or later. See the Computer World story “Microsoft to Bring BI to the Cloud.”

Microsoft already has three major corporations set to use PerformancePoint, a business performance management software, and the company’s “self-service” BI component is set to release in Word and Excel next year. Generally common functions of business intelligence technologies are data mining and analytics, performance management, benchmarking, etc. If Microsoft is working these functions into MS Office for the enterprise organizations, I can see that being an important tool. They’re working on it, but it’s not here yet.
