MS BSM 2005 Vs BO XCelsius
I'd a meeting with a couple of MS guys last week and the topic is about business intellience and MS Business Scorecard Manager 2005 (with little MS Office 12 as well). The idea of MS Business Scorecard Manager (BSM) 2005 is talking about how easy to retrieve data from our defined cube and datawarehouse, and then display on a browser by non-tech users in a friendly way (or to a sharepoint server visually).
The MS guys talked quite a lot features/screen shots from the marketing slides, but they show nothing rigid nor the real product when I asked them to show a "real" demo to us...
The features of scorecard, dashboard, graph, etc are easy-to-use and adapted by general users commonly, but as an (experienced) user with technical background, I still prefer the use of Xcelsius (no matter from Infomersion or Business Object) as there're quite a lot of fancy presentation objects.
Can MS tell me how easy I can stimulate what I did in BSM 2005 as in Xcelsius?
