Performance Point

Does PP actually take care of our ETL process? I always thought I would
have to populate the DW then PP would take it from there. The training
videos are sort of suggesting something else.

about PPS Monitoring...

populating a DW is not related to PPS.
this is 2 different steps, processes and usage.

a DW is required if you want to merge multiple data sources, clean them and
provides an easier access to the data.

PPS can use a cube, an RDMS database or excel file has a data source, so you
can use a DW (then populate a cube from here), but it's not a must have.
so the ETL process is not related to PPS.

I don't play with the planning part of PPS, so I'm not sure how this part of
the tool works.

There is an ETL tool called Profitbase that will take care of the function.
