This week Microsoft announced that there will be no SP2 for the PerformancePoint Server and that it will be an integrated part of coming MOSS. They Also announced that it will be a part of the the SharePoint Enterprise CAL or available for customers with SharePoint SA.

Everyone that has worked with the KPI’s in Moss knows that it has a lot of limitations so this comes a really great news. We can now look forward to a better and more complete BI product in the “SharePoint 14″ (in lack of other name for it) version.

I will in a coming post write about the capabilities that PerformancePoint and MOSS offers so stay tuned.
