Microsoft Sharpens Its Forecasting With Office PerformancePoint Server 2007
Overview Microsoft produces a financial performance forecast nine times a year, with three quarterly forecasts looking at revenue and profit/loss, and the rest focusing only on revenue. This requires Microsoft's corporate office to consolidate each month about 300 Excel spreadsheets that are imported into a legacy forecasting application, and from there data must be transferred to a reporting system. This process was time-consuming and raised concerns around the potential for data inaccuracy. Microsoft reached the time where they needed to consider alternatives to its legacy forecasting system and the timing was right for the new performance management solution under development. Towards the end of 2006, its corporate finance team decided to build a forecasting solution based on Microsoft Office PerformancePoint Server 2007.
