Microsoft Adds Muscle To SharePoint Server.
Microsoft later this year will stop developing the standalone version PerformancePoint Server and has moved the software’s scorecard, dashboard and analysis features into SharePoint Server. It’s a move that can be seen either as a sign of the belt-tightening times, or as fodder for the argument that business intelligence is more of a feature than a product.
PerformancePoint has been added to the SharePoint Enterprise client access license and is now available to subscribers of SharePoint Software Assurance. Microsoft will release a third and final service pack for PerformancePoint around midyear, after which the vendor will stop development work on the standalone offering.
In a Q&A on Microsoft’s Web site, Kurt DelBene, senior vice president of Microsoft’s Office Business Platform Group, said Microsoft made the change in order to make business intelligence more accessible within organizations. Microsoft is removing the barriers for customers who want to deploy a complete Business Intelligence solution, leveraging their existing investments in SharePoint Server, SQL Server, and Excel.

How Can I Use Networking to Build Business Relationships?
The best business and career opportunities often come through networking, so it’s important to learn how to network effectively. Begin by thinking about those professionial or personal contacts you have a friendly and respectful relationship with. That’s your core network. You can add to your network by asking those in it who they might know who would be interested in what you’re selling, or who might be able to connect you with the right people if you are job hunting.
Do your background work on potential leads so that you come across as knowledgable and professional. Take your prospect to lunch, take copious notes, exchange business cards, and remember to pick up the tab if you are the one who initiated the contact. Networking is a lifelong process that builds slowly, so be patient and willing to help others along the way to create win’win connections.

I.B.M. - Tops Forecasts for the Quarter.
I.B.M. reported a solid 12 percent gain in net income for the fourth quarter, bucking the trend of steep declines for many technology companies amid the economic downturn and surprising Wall Street. The company is seen as a bellwether of global technology spending among corporations.
Yet its strong performance in the fourth quarter, analysts say, mainly points to the success of its strategy in recent years of tilting toward higher-profit software and services and reducing its reliance on the computer hardware business, which suffers more in down economic cycles.
I.B.M.’s hardware sales did drop 20 percent in the quarter, but that weakness was more than made up by strong results from the company’s far-larger services and software groups. Some analysts had predicted that I.B.M. would announce as many as 10,000 staff cuts, or 3 percent of the work force, to trim costs in a weak economy.

Economic depression cannot be cured by legislative action or executive pronouncement. Economic wounds must be healed by the action of the cells of the economic body - the producers and consumers themselves. One more thing is in the business world, everyone is paid in two coins: cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later. Remember, a business that makes nothing but money is a poor business.
