The scorecards can show whether important KPI's are being achieved and whether your IT department is meeting the day to day needs of the business. The key demos in this session will take you through the steps needed to implement effective business scorecarding in Sharepoint 2007 using metrics collected in the Operations Manager 2007 Datawarehouse based on "real-world" experiences gained inthe field. After attending this presentation you will have a good insight into how CIO Scorecards can really help add value to Operations Manager deployments, providing real value to IT executives.
