It enables you to create rich, context-driven dashboards that aggregate data and content to provide a coplete view of how your business is performing at all levels; create customised scorecards; and has improved analytic functionality.

The easiest way to create and publish custom dashboards to meet the unique needs of your business is using PerformancePoint Services.
