A number of companies have implemented SharePoint as their portal solution.    SharePoint is one of Microsoft’s best selling products for 3 years running and for good reason.  It’s open architecture and integration with all the various Office products makes it and easy and practical choice.  But what about when it comes to using portal technology for various Enterprise Reporting such as Executive Dashboards, Monitoring and  Analytics?

The next phase for Portal Technology is to include Enterprise Reporting as part of the distribution and analysis of company data.  Several high end solutions have included their own portal solutions but nothing has become as widely adopted as SharePoint.  Why is that?
