As an example, Office integration allows our users to access the information contained in Performance Point using familiar tools such as Microsoft Excel. The ability to leverage our existing base of Microsoft products helps to shorten the learning curve for our users and minimizes the number of applications that our IS department needs to support."
- Steve Canter, Chief Information Office, Berlin Packaging
