Office SharePoint Server 2007 can link to business applications, such as SAP, Siebel, and Microsoft SQL Server 2005, allowing you to easily publish reports, lists, and key performance indicators (KPIs).The information workers can assemble data from multiple sources and publish that data on the Web with the help of sharepoint server (BI).

Let us first describe what is Business intelligence.It is a generic term that describes the processes and technologies whose primary purpose is to monitor, analyze and plan thereby driving the Business Process improvements. Sharepoint (BI) shows all the spheres of information and presents the right information at the right time and in the right manner. It also enhances the productivity and decision making levels in your organization. With BI in SharePoint, you can easily access the information, use it, deploy it and maximize its ability to positively influence business decisions. It also ensures security of data and information.

There are three important components for sharepoint BI:

Knowing Your Deployment's Health and Status: Information about your Microsoft SharePoint servers, their functions, roles, services, and health is critical to developing future procurement and management strategies.

Understanding Platform Activity: Understanding how your deployment is being leveraged by end-users is vital to efficient management. Having access to accurate and timely answers to the following questions is critical to intelligent decision making

On-Demand Analysis & Reporting: A centralized, customizable dashboard, delivering precisely the metrics is a very critical tool for business-intelligence.

The features of Sharepoint (BI) are discussed below:

The Report Centre: It provides a central location for BI related information. With the help of Report Center the users can search for item by using categories, they can view a calendar of upcoming reports and subscribe to reports that are relevant.

Excel Services: It enables you to store an Excel workbook on a server and then publish any part of that workbook on a web page. The users only need a browser to view and interact with the live data. Its main advantage is the calculation occurs on the server, because of which the business logic in the workbook is never exposed

Key Performance Indicators: A Key Performance Indicator (KPI) is a visual cue that communicates the amount of progress made toward a goal. By using Sharepoint KPIs, you can know where you are, how far or behind and what is the minimum task completed.

Filter Web Parts: Office SharePoint Server 2007 has 10 Filter Web Parts that enable you to enter or choose one or more values to change the contents of one or more Web Parts on a page to display exactly the information you need.

SharePoint SQL Reporting

SQL Reporting Services is a popular enterprise reporting application in the IT industry today. Many corporations are using SharePoint technologies (MOSS 2007 / WSS 3.0) as their primary portal, content management and information management system with excellent collaborative features such as document sharing and workflows in their SQL reporting services. Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services Add-in for SharePoint Technologies enables you to take advantage of SQL Server 2008 report processing and management capabilities within Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) 3.0 or Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. The integration point between Reporting Services and SharePoint was two separate Web Parts: Report Explorer and Report Viewer. These Web Parts made it possible to view reports within SharePoint .Using SQL SharePoint reporting you can create web application pages in which you can create subscriptions and schedules, and manage reports, models, and data sources. There are numerous benefits and advantages to integrating Reporting Services with Office SharePoint Server 2007. It provides synchronization from the SharePoint content database to the report server database. There is also a custom security extension that uses SharePoint permissions to control access to report server operations. You can derive the benefit of a revised Reporting Services Configuration tool that you can use to configure a report server for SharePoint integrated operations. It is a single consistent user interface for managing and viewing reports and provides a much richer user experience. Reports and all associated resources are stored within the Office SharePoint Server 2007 database and are automatically synchronized with the same reports that are stored and executed from the report server. Scheduling, caching, and subscriptions are stored in the report server database only because this functionality is not available natively in a SharePoint document library. It is a single security model for reports because they are treated like any other document inside a SharePoint document library.
