2.0 out of 5 stars
Heavy on "Introduction", light on Instruction,
By Chris U (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Microsoft Office PerformancePoint Server 2007 (Paperback)
I swear this book must have been written by a gaggle of project managers. Outside of less than 15 pages of technical instruction, this book is one big preface, one big introduction, one big disappointment. I purchased the book online because it was the most expensive one available, and learned the hard way that more expensive is not always better.

Where's the beef?,
This review is from: Microsoft Office PerformancePoint Server 2007 (Paperback)
Despite what the author's wife says in her nepotic review here, this tome is useful only as a doorstop. No real hands-on examples or nuts & bolts. Go elsewhere if you want something beyond a summary of the MSDN pages. I gave mine to a guy in another dept, trying to unload it, but he returned it after reading a couple of chapters saying "thanks by no thanks".

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent and informative,
This review is from: Microsoft Office PerformancePoint Server 2007 (Paperback)
I just finished reading this book. I was pleasantly surprised by the depth of the information as well as the way in which the information was presented. Not only for IT people but for anyone who is involved in business strategy. Yes, my husband is one of the authors, which made me even more surprised that I could sit down and read the book as well as understand 80% of it.
