February 3, 2009 from ComputerWorld Canada – “Microsoft Corp. announced recently that it was giving its relatively new business intelligence product PerformancePoint Server the axe, a casualty of a tough BI market, the worsening economy, and the strength of its enterprise portal product SharePoint Server…”
180 View – It’s hard to believe that Microsoft would walk away from a product because of a tough market or economy. Microsoft typically takes a long-term view of its R&D. The article goes on to say “We wanted to have BI for the masses,” said Kristina Kerr, a lead project manager with Microsoft headquarters. “But we weren’t that different from the other mega-vendors in the space.” That’s also not what you expect to hear from Microsoft who have successfully competed with mega vendors before. Can anyone out there can shed some light? Thanks
