It shows how PowerPivot helps IT answer:

  • Where are my mission critical PowerPivot workbooks? And what data is inside them? –> The usage infrastructure records connection information and query response patterns.
  • How are my data sources being used? –> When the infrastructure loads a PowerPivot database on-demand, we log data source information in our usage tables.

All in all, it is an interesting read.

Enjoy!
