Scalable, Adaptive Services-Oriented Architecture

A BI platform is a vital component of an overall enterprise IT infrastructure. It provides the key support system for corporate information access and decision making. Customers depend on the platform to track, understand, and manage their business. These demands necessitate an efficient architecture for processing, managing, and delivering critical information and analysis to a broad base of users.

End-User Insight

BusinessObjects Enterprise gives end users information, integrated directly within a portal, extranet, desktop productivity tool, and performance management applications. Innovative tools allow users to ask business questions, track, manage, and collaborate during the entire decision process within an intuitive, Web-based interface. Live Office offers easy access to accurate data from within Microsoft Office and the ability to share decision-making data in familiar file formats.

Deploy and Manage With Confidence

Deploy quickly with guided installation, flexible deployment, and comprehensive importing and upgrade support.

Getting your system up and running quickly and efficiently means IT has more time to respond to the ever-changing end-user requirements. A Web-based management console gives administrators configuration access from any Web browser.

Support any type or size of deployment with end-to-end metadata and data access for all major database platforms, applications, and formats. Developers gain a powerful set of BI services, exposed through an extensive set of Java, .NET, and Web services software development kits (SDKs), and can integrate BI into applications and portals.
