BusinessObjects Enterprise integrates seamlessly with your existing IT infrastructure and investments so you can quickly respond to data access and analysis needs. It provides:
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.
BusinessObjects Enterprise gives end users information, integrated directly within a portal, extranet, desktop productivity tool, and performance management applications. Innovative tools like BI Encyclopedia and Process Tracker 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 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.
Business Objects is committed to providing an open platform that can match the technologies deployed by our customers. An agnostic platform allows our customers to standardize on a single BI solution—regardless of how varied their hardware and platform deployments are.
As part of our commitment to provide an open platform with the widest range of support, both BusinessObjects Enterprise XI and Crystal Reports Server XI are certified and compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux and with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.
