Types of Business Intelligence used in SharePoint
  • Business Reporting – This style describes formatted reports that are created by advanced business users or analysts.  Reports are typically based upon approved corporate data, and then shared more broadly with managers, teams, or departments. In this style, IT involvement is moderate, usually overseeing the distribution and monitoring of the reporting environment and building of the structured data layer upon which the reports are built.
​Applications: Excel with PowerPivot or Report Builder
  • Parameterized & Operational Reporting – Similar to the Business Reporting style, Parameterized &Operational Reporting is also characterized by fixed-format reports. The reports, however, are authored and managed by IT instead of business users and usually follow a pixel perfect format and rendering style. Consistency, scalability, manageability, and automated distribution are some of the key characteristics of this style.
​Applications: SQL Reporting Services
  • Scorecarding – Scorecarding is a style that describes highly summarized views with Key Performance Indicators (or KPIs) measured and scored against predefined targets such as a balanced scorecard.  This style is generally a part of a performance management program, though it can also be used to measure operational performance.
  • Performance Monitoring – This style describes dashboard-style reports that allow users to quickly and easily monitor the performance of their business.  This style is catered to executive level or department leadership who require at-a-glance visibility on the health of the business, but it often also permits further investigation via interactivity.

Business Intelligence (Self Service)
PowerPivot for SharePoint gives the collaborative platform for self-service Business Intelligence to organizations. SharePoint enables the IT staff to control and monitor the BI reports published on it. It also provides a powerful way to share your reports using a central data repository. As Microsoft Gold Certified Partner we have excellent skills in SharePoint and we deliver the SharePoint Deployment Planning Services to you for Business Intelligence and integration with other Microsoft products as well.
  • Self-Service Analysis – Self-Service Analysis describes free-form reporting and analysis by users so that they can integrate data from disparate sources and drill-down and understand the root cause for data anomalies.  These non-technical users value the ability to perform their own reporting and analysis without relying on IT or others.
