At some point, every employee in your organization will make a decision that impacts the overall success of the business. As a result, access to vital business information and the ability to analyze and share that information with suppliers, partners, and customers is critical.
BusinessObjects Enterprise powers the management and secure deployment of specialized, end-user tools— for reporting, query and analysis, and performance management—on a proven, scalable, and open services- oriented architecture. As your organization continues to invest heavily in multiple applications to capture this business information, you may decide to deploy a variety of business intelligence (BI) tools to extract data from these applications.

Standardization of these BI tools will allow you to take full advantage of the lower cost of ownership (TCO) associated with one BI standard—a single BI platform that supports all users inside and outside your organization. It must drive all of your mission-critical business requirements, while delivering information in multiple web and non-web user interfaces. In addition, it must be flexible and have the ability to connect to your key data sources, as well as work with your major operating systems—regardless of format or location.

BusinessObjects Enterprise is the business intelligence platform that combines end-user insight with flexible systems management for a single BI standard that allows your administrators to confidently deploy and standardize their BI implementations. BusinessObjects Enterprise delivers:

• Scalable and adaptive services-oriented architecture
• Extreme end-user insight
• An easy-to-deploy and manageable solution

Scalable and 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. Your end users rely on this platform to ensure they can track, understand, and manage business information. And, as a result, you need a highly available and efficient architecture in place for processing, managing, and delivering critical information and analysis to a broad user-base. By building your organization’s BI solutions with BusinessObjects Enterprise, you get the flexibility to deploy a solution for a single business challenge, with the ability to expand your deployment as your needs evolve.
