Introduction to Steve Hord (Bio)... PerformancePoint Server documentation team writer

My name is Steve Hord and I will be contributing to the B.I. the way... PerformancePoint Server documentation team blog for the next few months. I am a writer on the Duet User Assistance (UA) team, and since Duet 1.5 General Availability will release at the end of 2008, the documentation is for the most part done. I have been writing for the Duet project for a year and a half, throughout the Duet 1.5 product cycle. I will work with the PerformancePoint UA team throughout the rest of this year and until the Duet 3.0 product cycle begins, scheduled for mid- to late January 2009.

Microsoft and SAP co-own Duet, consequently several of the guides are co-written by both companies. I have worked closely with my SAP counterpart Duet writer and we have produced the first integrated versions of the Duet for Microsoft Office and SAP: Installation Guide, Master Guide, and Upgrade Guide.

I am not entirely new to PerformancePoint as I helped revise the installation document for one of the TAP releases several years ago. I will concentrate on the PerformancePoint Planning Server documentation and look forward to contributing to the B.I. the way... PerformancePoint Server documentation team blog.
