MS support of Enterprise budgeting-forecasting and financial consolidation is now non-existing. I have heard that they of some reason now start selling Enterprise Reporting again, a 15 year old non supported, dead software product...Great! I can compare the rules the functionality and the logic with the architecture from both Cognos and Hyperion, and Microsoft was really on to something here. PPS Planning was extremely flexible, and it also gave you control like no other solution today. And the technical architecture was great compared to the competition, the competition is really lipstick on a pig, mostly old stuff. The problem was the product roll-out, selling CPM solutions is different from selling share point or office, the organization just started to get going, and great things were on the way. With PerformancePoint Planning Microsoft boldly entered the CPM market, with big words and grand strategies, to go head to head against Oracle and IBM. Today just one year after the grand product release, they bail out, in the shade of the night leaving the CPM market on walk over to the benefit of Oracle, SAP and IBM. This is hard to understand.
