Today, we are pleased to announce the release of Microsoft Office PerformancePoint Server 2007 Service Pack 1!

With this new Service Pack, enhancements have been made to the monitoring, analysing and planning functionality found in PerformancePoint Server to  help customers improve decision making.  Usability, stability and performance enhancements are key focus areas for PerformancePoint Server SP1.   With this Service Pack, customers will be able to take advantage of new workbook options for improved performance of queries, as well as see the effects of changes in planning assignments for better “what-if” analysis.

Customers using strategy maps and KPI’s for monitoring and analytics will see improvements to scorecard and filter usability.  Scorecards with negative numbers have improved formatting and are easier to read, while dashboards with filters are now faster to render and provide the ability to link reports directly to KPI’s. There are also improvements to Tabular filters and Time Intelligence Post Formula filters.

In addition, SP1 adds certified support for Windows Server 2008.  Support for SQL Server 2008 will be available later this year following the release of SQL Server 2008.
