BusinessObjects XI is the first and only business intelligence (BI) platform to deliver a complete set of market-leading, end-to-end BI capabilities: best-in-class enterprise performance management (EPM), dashboards and visualization, reporting, query and analysis, and enterprise information management (EIM). BusinessObjects XI introduces significant innovations that deliver BI in new ways to a broad set of users.

 

Enterprise Performance Management

EPM applications and services help users align with strategy by streamlining the planning process, setting targets, and tracking key business metrics via management dashboards, scorecards, analytics, and alerting.

Dashboards and Visualization

Dashboard and visualization products help organizations track and analyze key business metrics via dashboards, and interact with sophisticated visual representations of information. Dashboards enable proactive management via “what-if” analysis, customer segmentation, forecasting, and analyzing business processes.

Enterprise Reporting

Reporting allows organizations to access, format, and deliver data as meaningful information to large populations of information consumers both inside and outside the organization.

Query and Analysis

Query and analysis tools allow end users to interact with business information and answer ad hoc questions themselves without advanced knowledge of the underlying data sources and structures. These tools support query generation and basic report authoring, as well as integrated analysis.

Business Intelligence Platform

The BI platform provides a set of common services to simplify deployment and management of BI tools, reports, and analytics.

Enterprise Information Management

EIM builds a trusted foundation for your business decisions by integrating data from many sources and improving its quality.

Crystal Reports

Access any data and transform it into highly formatted reports - then deliver the reports via the Web.
