SharePoint is one of Microsoft's (many) success stories. Topping $1.2 billion in the company's fiscal year 2008 results, SharePoint Server grew at about 30%. That means a lot of you are buying and deploying the software and, hopefully, your users are collaborating like crazy and being far more productive for the business than ever before.
But you really don't know how collaborative or productive people are unless you know how they are using the content and services in SharePoint.
So the folks at Nintex USA LLC in Bellevue, Wash. are releasing today Nintex Reporting 2008, which will give you the scoop on everything from the most popular spreadsheet among your finance types to the most-updated slide deck used by the field sales force as well as which Web sites are getting traffic and who's finding forums useful.
If it happens in SharePoint, Nintex wants you to know about it. According to Mike Fitzmaurice, vice president of technology, the software comes with 75 reports. He says you can customize existing ones or write completely news ones, if you're handy with SQL.
Fitzmaurice explains that Nintex Reporting 2008 gathers date from SharePoint activity and pours it into a SQL Server data warehouse. The Reporting front end, he claims makes it easy to extract information in almost anyway you wish. However, with 75 reports at your fingertips, you'd have to be an info glutton to want more.
Nintex Reporting 2008 starts at $8,750.
