My esteemed colleague, Eugene Asahara, recently posted a blog titled Data Mining in the PerformancePoint "MAP" Framework . It was not too long after discussing this post with Eugene that I was compelled to learn more about SQL Server Data Mining in preparation for an upcoming Microsoft BI engagement.

 

Please share your comments re: ways PerformancePoint and Data Mining can and should be integrated.

If you have specific examples or case studies, I'd love to showcase them here.
