eWeek | at | by Mike

Microsoft last week released the first private beta for a new product code-named Maestro, a server-based business performance management score card application that is expected to ship in the last quarter of the year.

Maestro is designed to help users perform deep analysis by using Microsoft Office to build, manage and use score cards and key performance indicators, said Chris Caren, general manager of Microsoft's Business Applications Group, in Redmond, Wash.
