BI Portal
Today I was compiling a report for a customer of all their issues and responses for the past month. While collecting all the different stuff, I began to feel like I was in a vignette. I had data from all over the place. Different formats, some email, some phone logs, and various other stuff, like WSUS logs. Slowly it occured to me that this is what most people probably feel like in their daily information worker Roles...
So I decided to build out a simple BI portal for the customer to access. So far, I've had some snags, but it's going pretty well. I am creating the portal in Windows Sharepoint Portal Services. I am using a template for Business Intelligence Portal that has since been replaced by Business Scorecard Manager 2005. I have the template from a while back and it's going pretty well, I think. The best part is mashing up different data sources into a single site. I may setup a test site and show it off to the whoever wants to see it, if I ever get the free time...
