In case you have heard about the new MS Management Reporter. It is basically FRx reborn into the PPS world. Like FRx, it is a table based report writer which allows you to define the rows and columns for each report (mainly for Finance dept folks to use to generate reports). This is an early version so the feature set is limited compared to what FRx offers (So FRx users may lose some functionality with this tool). The ability to use Excel or publish to SSRS, is awesome but there is no SharePoint integration at this point. Currently it works directly with PPS or on top of almost any General Ledger. However, I think it only works with GL data at this time.
