C|Net | at | by Mike
Microsoft introduced a second beta version of its business intelligence package for servers on Tuesday. Dubbed Microsoft Office Business Scorecard Manager 2005, the test version of the product, formerly code-named Maestro, is being made available for free download at the company's Web site.
Company officials cited the BI offering, due out sometime this fall, as an important piece of the software maker's Information Worker effort, which is aimed at arming people with more effective productivity tools.
