PerformancePoint as a Managed Service

 MS is offering Exchange, SharePoint, LCS, and now PerformancePoint as a managed service.  The new flavours of BizTalk should drive the growth of these options.

"Microsoft pushing a managed services offering is more troubling at this interval than any previous occasion," said Stephen Moss, COO of NSPI, a Roswell, Georgia security solution provider. "It will be most interesting to see [Microsoft's plans] in the area of direct offerings of services or Software + Services as the case may be."
