Microsoft PerformancePoint Update - Pricing

February 1, 2007 3:43 PM
From Blog: Craig Schiff

Microsoft has just announced its pricing model for PerformancePoint and it's a game changer. It is orders of magnitude less than current business performance management offerings. As such it is a major step forward for the potential of pervasive BI and BPM. It will be licensed like other Office products with a single server + single client access license (CAL). The price will be $20,000 per server and $195 per CAL. The license will include scorecarding, analytics, planning, budgeting, forecasting, consolidation, and financial reporting. Basically a full performance suite for a fraction of the price of today's offerings. Now of course questions still remain about the depth of fucntionality in version 1.0, but at that price point even if they just cover the basics its still a good deal. We will have to wait a little while longer to see commercial product though. They have changed their release timeframe from 'mid 2007' to 'second-half 2007'.
