PerformancePoint Services : Upgrading PerformancePoint Server 2007 to PerformancePoint 2010 - Straightforward and easy?

 
Doesn't seem that straightforward to me.  Most customers I know that would run Sharepoint would have a hard time giving their BI groups access to their corporate Sharepoint portals.

The "Import PerformancePoint Server 2007 Content" option seems the most straightforward requiring the least amount of database access, however the limitation of requiring Sharepoint admin rights to create security groups might be an issue for some clients.

At least there are quite a few different options to migrate content.

Most of the customers who have been using PerformancePoint Server 2007 have accumulated several months, if not years, worth of dashboards and data. Their KPIs, grids, charts, scorecards, and custom objects have gone to good use, providing a great deal of corporate discussion about how to handle business decisions and to help plan for the future. And while the 2007 version of PerformancePoint helped to do this very well, the SharePoint BI 2010 version does it even better. Understandably, most companies want to build on top of their old dashboards in 2010. And the idea of starting from scratch is unthinkable. Fortunately, Microsoft has a nice migration path so that you can migrate all of your existing objects to the new version. The migration process is straightforward, but to help ensure that things go smoothly, we’ve created a set of steps to follow.
