Abstract: Microsoft's Business Intelligence stack consists of numerous products, some of which appear to do the same thing, most of which use SharePoint as a presentation platform. Which product is useful for which purpose? Which ones present the biggest administrative nightmare for the SharePoint admin, and which ones are the biggest pains for end users? Should I build my charts and graphs in PowerPivot, PowerView, PerformancePoint, or a product that hasn't got an initial P in it someplace? Alara Rogers will discuss the topic of Microsoft Business Intelligence products, their uses, and their interaction with SharePoint, in a somewhat less than serious tone.
