Planning a PowerPivot for SharePoint Deployment

When deciding to use PowerPivot in your enterprise, you must weigh the costs, benefits, risks, and rewards of implementing a self-service business intelligence (BI) offering instead of a traditional BI solution. The same considerations must be given to scalability, supportability, security, and usability. PowerPivot can provide a robust and dynamic experience for information workers to quickly develop charts and reports that provide them with appropriate and necessary business insight, but like all applications (particularly SharePoint applications), you must ensure that PowerPivot for SharePoint follows the governance and compliance requirements of your organization.
