PerformancePoint Services provides a summary of information that has been chosen by the dashboard and scorecard designer. In a typical scenario, users and analysts would create a data dashboards using the PerformancePoint Dashboard Designer application and would then publish it to a SharePoint site. Following that, end users would be able to view the live data summarized for them. This summary makes it possible for end users to get a quick view of an entire set of systems and key performance indicators, enabling them to make effective business decisions and to identify any potential business issues as soon as possible.
The net result is that the functionality provided by PerformancePoint services makes it possible for business users to see the information they need in an aggregated environment giving them the information they need to make informed business decisions.

Client – These are for the most part Dashboard Designer, which is used to create our individual components such as Scorecard, Reports, KPI etc.
Web Front End – The Web Front End servers will host the web parts, web services and proxy required for client communication with the Shared Service. These front end services will be lightweight components that provide some caching on the results of queries to a Shared Service but mainly function as a pass through to the App Server
App Server – which brings us to the App Server, which does the querying and calculation for the individual views.
PPS has a separate db for storing app settings and comments that are added to a scorecard.

Key changes and new capabilities
Filter Enhancements and Filter Search
Cascading Filters*
PerformancePoint support on iPad
Support for Analysis Services Effective User
BI Center Update
Theming support
Dashboard Migration
Filter Enhancements & Filter Search: The UI has been enhanced to allow users to easily view and manage filters including giving users the ability to search for items within filters without having to navigate through the tree. Cascading filters was introduced in SP1 of o14, but new compared to RTM version.
Dashboard Migration: Users will be able to copy entire dashboards and dependencies, including the .aspx file, to other users, servers, or site collections. This feature also allows the ability to migrate single items to other environments and migrate content by using Windows PowerShell commands.
BI Center Update: The new BI Center is cleaner, and easier to use with folders and libraries configured for easy use.
Support for Analysis Services Effective User: This new feature eliminates the need for Kerberos delegation when per-user authentication is used for Analysis Services data sources. By supporting Analysis Services Effective User feature, authorization checks will be based on the user specified by the EffectiveUserName property instead of using the currently authenticated user.
PerformancePoint Support on iPad: PerformancePoint dashboards can now be viewed and interacted with on iPad devices using the Safari web browser.

5. Filter Enhancements and Filter Search
Filter enhancements – lot of different end user or editor enhancements based on customer feedback
Filter Search – possibility to search individual available filters

6. Data connectivity - specific account with SSO
Access database using specific account
User Identity for accessing SP
Classic model already from SP2010 as reference....

7. Analyses Services Effective User option
Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013
Analyses Services Effective User option
Use individual user identity without Kerberos
User Identity for accessing SP
Use specific account for connecting database
Support for Analysis Services Effective User: This new feature eliminates the need for Kerberos delegation when per-user authentication is used for Analysis Services data sources. By supporting Analysis Services Effective User feature, authorization checks will be based on the user specified by the EffectiveUserName property instead of using the currently authenticated user or service application identity.
The Analysis Services EffectiveUserName capability is an alternative to Windows delegation for allowing individual users to securely access Analysis Services data. Use the EffectiveUserName connection string property instead of Windows delegation. The setting will only impact external data connections based on Analysis Services workbook connections with an authentication setting of "Use the current user's account". Using EffectiveUserName requires that the PerformancePoint Services managed account is an administrator in Analysis Services. EffectiveUserName is not supported for http(s) or PowerPivot.
PerformancePointServiceApplication.UseEffectiveUserName = True/False to indicate setting.
--- Description of the setting
EffectiveUserSetting allows you to pass the end user’s crdentials to the cube without having a Kerberos ticket. If setting is enabled, after connection to Analysis Services using specific account (defined in SSS) SSRS will append the EffectiveUserName property into connection string, specifying the end user who is running the report. EffectiveUserName property tells SSAS to pretend to be a specific user so that the results of MDX queries use th role based security setup for that end user.
Only SSAS administrators can use the EffectiveUserName property, so the account defined for PPS for connectivity must be an SSAS admin. The other requirement is that you must setup Kerberos on the SSAS server. To be clear, you need to setup the SPN on the SSAS server and you need to setup the AD configurations for delegation, but you don't need to setup Kerberos on any other servers besides the SSAS server. So this is a fairly quick way to get up in running without having your whole network setup for Kerberos.
Since you're using a service account which is an SSAS admin, carefully validate that you've setup the data source correctly to use EffectiveUserName impersonation. You wouldn't want to show your users more data than they're allowed to see just because you forgot to check a box!
