Buchempfehlung

Vgl: Consultants Digest

ich habe gerade das Buch “Business Intelligence with Microsoft Office PerformancePoint Server 2007” gelesen und bin damit sehr zufrieden. Die Inhalte werden verständlich erklärt, es wird ein akzeptables Niveau an Vorwissen vorausgesetzt und die meisten Dinge die erläutert werden sind auch bebildert, so dass es dem geneigten Leser leicht fällt den Ausführungen des Autors zu folgen. Das Buch kann man unter *click* bestellen.

Ich habe hier mal die Inhaltszusammenfassung von Amazon angehängt:
