| Topic: |
“Architecting a PerformancePoint Planning
Solution” |
| Summary: |
Planning is a distinct and unique type of application. While planning shares some aspects with data warehousing and OLAP, it also has aspects of OLTP and therefore must be approached differently. Planning is more than just write-back, it is the system of record for the plan and as such requires workflow and process control. There are many different types of planning applications including financial, manufacturing, or entering targets for a corporate scorecard. Learn how to analyze the application subject to determine an appropriate architecture that correctly uses the features of PerformancePoint Planning in an effective and efficient manner. Find out the answers to the following questions: Can you have too many models? Or too few? What is the best use of subsites? Can vanilla PerformancePoint Planning handle the application or must you go outside the box? |
