Has anyone used this as a front-end to ssas 2005 cubes? I haven't downloaded the demo and fiddled with it yet and don't see any discussion of it here, is it any good?
The organization I work for won't roll out excel 12 till 2008 at the earliest, excel 2003 has issues with ssas 2005, and proclarity hasn't been integrated into the MS suite yet. What can i use as a front-end for my cubes? The political environment here favors Business Objects for everything but I feel that is like using Novellfor Networking, a good solution 20 years ago...
Thanks in advance...

You can use BSM2005 as a front-end tool, however it is mainly used for KPI:s(Key performance indicators).
I do not see it as a good cube browser tool and it uses Office Webcomponents 2003 internally. It is a Balanced Scorecard browser.
ProClarity Analytics will still be sold as a complete solution during the next year. I think it is better and cheaper than Business objects. Microsoft have cut the license fees with 30 percent this summer.
Have a look at this link for more information: http://charliem.wordpress.com/2006/10/03/performancepoint-biz-is-coming/
