One of the more confusing aspects of SharePoint is its Business Intelligence (BI) capabilities. Why is it confusing (at least for me)? Well, this is AIIM and we spend most of our time discussing information involving unstructured content as opposed to data.
And the BI world involves databases and data warehouses and OLAP cubes and other related buzzwords like EPM or business analytics. BI is really its own unique niche.
Leave it to Microsoft to build BI capabilities into SharePoint along with everything else and in the SharePoint 2010 wheel — it’s called “Insights”. Whatever you call it, the hidden value of SharePoint is its ability to manage data and content together.
