Has anyone experience of using performance point (in sharepoint) as a method of distributing reports as well as displaying dashboards etc....
Does it integrate SSRS and SSAS?
I've tried researching it but not gotten that far yet. Maybe someone out there has some experience of this or maybe it's not even possible.

It's a rare product as well as ProClarity.
Both are virtually dead AFAIK
PerformancePoint is unsupported at the moment as it says here
Look towards Sharepoint, 2007 and the 2010 version being cooked at the moment

Thanks for that.
Do you know much about options for report delivery etc... within sharepoint then?

nope.. but i will get there 🙂
I assume that it's similar to the standard SSRS delivery methods + more sharepoint specific schedules and stuff.

Proclarity has been gone for a while (basically since its acquisition by msft, though you could still get it for a little while post that event). The PerfPoint is 'gone' in it's current state but is reappearing in Office 14 Performance Point Services, as mentioned Valek, it's in Sharepoint 2010. I believe both the Sharepoint and Office releases are now in public beta/CTP (Community Tech Preview) so you should be able to download and install to a test location to try them for yourself.
Note that PerfPoint Svcs are the Monitoring & Analytics, the Budgeting/Planning is going away AFAIK, completely.
As for integration, PPoint plays quite nicely. You can utilize existing SSRS reports in a perf point dash and you can generate new SSAS based queries through the tool also (e.g pivot tables, charts etc).

Guess I'll wait. Sharepoint 2007 is being implemented this year. After that we'll start looking at the modules available.

PerformancePoint Server (PPS) 2007 stopped being a standalone product back in April 2009 with the January 2009 announcement that Microsoft made last year (http://blogs.msdn.com/bi/archive/2009/01/23/microsoft-bi-strategy-update.aspx). Customers that have SharePoint 2007 with the Enterprise CALs are now able to also get PPS as part of the product to expand on the existing BI capabilities in SharePoint 2007 Enterprise. With PPS you also get ProClarity Analytical Server 6.3 since all of the functionality has not been fully implemented yet in PPS.
The Monitoring & Analytical (M&A) capabilities of PPS are being further developed and embedded in SharePoint 2010 Enterprise and will be called PerformancePoint Services. The Planning portion of PPS is no longer being developed and the last fixes that came out were with PPS SP3 that was released in October 2009.
With the M&A functionality in PPS you can not only leverage SSAS data, but also integrate SSRS, Excel Services, and other types of tabular data. You can create the dashboards with the Dashboard Designer tool and you can also integrate the PPS elements into an existing SharePoint web page with our SharePoint items. It does require the E-CALs though if you want to leverage and access the PPS components.
