CTP3 of Microsoft Office PerformancePoint Server 2007 with new Monitoring and Analytics functionality is now available!
We are proud to announce the ENU (English) release of Microsoft Office PerformancePoint Server 2007 CTP3 software! This release contains new, updated Monitoring and Analytics functionality. See the "What's new from PerformancePoint Server CTP3" document from the following Connect site for the details. Note that we will be introducing a new Monitoring SDK next week to the site (under documentation Zip File).

The Planning bits however will remain at CTP2 level of functionality (until the full-update CTP4 which arrives in August).

Note that CTP3 will also be available in localized languages German and Japanese in about 4 weeks time - look for a separate announcement on this.

You will now have access to two newsgroups:

Microsoft.beta.office.performancepoint.monitoranalyze (Concerto and ProClarity questions)
Microsoft.beta.office.performancepoint.planning (Biz# questions)

The first newsgroup, for monitoring and analytic questions, will be replacing the previously established "Concerto" newsgroups.
