1. Objectives Develop 2 different but connected toolsets – Toolset for data analysts Collect, Monitor, Analyze and make strategic decisions – Toolset for surfacing data for internal and public use Rich User Interface with only pertinent data display A major goal is to create a data warehouse to serve as the repository for both.

2. VisibleStrategies vs. PPS vs. datafx visiblestrategies Great interface Simple tools Limited options for data Great display but limited in number of features $$$ PPS Part of sharepoint Complex tools Most options for data Many options for display $$$$ Can be used for other dept. needs right away. Almost too many choices Can read datafx softwareFX Great interface in Sharepoint Simple tools Many options for data Great display but limited in number of features $

3. PPS Future of Microsoft and Sharepoint Performance Management Can choose between displaying reports based on unlimited datasources and types. Automatically creates rolled up dashboards and can secure individual web parts Creates connected web parts, providing ease of use and navigation Can easily take snapshots and create dynamic/interactive experience for albemarle.org(non-PPS) users Can start off with a small group of users, build the LC KPI pages, then add on. Can incorporate the softwareFX dataparts if desired. Provides a longer term toolset, could be used to improve ER (our fledging budgeting tool) for enhanced budgeting By purchasing we also obtain add’l features (excel services…)

4. Timeline Build 25 LC KPI as is with softwareFX – Develop presentation for public Start data warehouse project – Already started with Enterprise Reporting (ER) and Pistol (PD Records) PPS becomes analysis and monitoring toolset SSIS ties into other production databases (GP, Laserfiche) SQL Reporting Services, Excel Services and PPS provide data surfacing and monitoring Build a richer presentation set.
