1.2. The Book's Purpose

If this book succeeds at one thing, it will be to introduce you to all aspects of Microsoft Business Intelligence, from back-end SQL Server servers to front-end Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, Visio, and Word, in both stand-alone and collaborative SharePoint environments—using desktop and Windows Mobile Smartphone technologies. We will "push the envelope" with chapters on SQL Server data mining and PerformancePoint.
