BUSINESSOBJECTS XI 3.0
THE INTELLIGENCE PLATFORM

ALL INFORMATION. ALL PEOPLE. ONE PLATFORM.

 
Imagine a world without e-mail or the Internet. What if we didn't have online banking or shopping? What if there were no social networking tools to connect people to each other all over the world?

It's virtually impossible to imagine these scenarios, right? These disruptive technologies have changed how we live, how we get information, how we communicate, how we spend and manage our money, and how we do business.

Another huge transformation is occurring in businesses and organizations everywhere. It's about connecting what we know to how we work to all the people who drive the process forward. And Business Objects, now an SAP company, is leading this transformation with business intelligence (BI).

For almost two decades, Business Objects has been dedicated to transforming the way the world works through intelligent information. Today, we are taking this vision one step forward.

 

THE FUTURE OF BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE HAS ARRIVED

BusinessObjects XI 3.0 is the latest innovation from Business Objects, an SAP company. It breaks the barriers of traditional BI to ensure that every person connected within an organization has trusted, immediate access to the business information they need to do their jobs—just as easily as they have access to e-mail or the Internet.

BusinessObjects XI 3.0 is not just any ordinary BI platform. It is:

  • The industry's first intelligence platform, capable of bringing together both organizational strategy and execution.
  • The first unified offering that brings together all information, for all people, on one platform.
  • The first and only BI platform to provide a full spectrum of BI capabilities-ranging from reporting, query and analysis, and dashboards and visualization, to intuitive discovery and advanced predictive analytics capabilities
  • The first platform of its kind to combine data integration and data quality in the same single offering
  • The first and only BI platform with integrated text analysis
  • The first platform that delivers BI-ready consumable external information on demand

With everyone accessing the right information at the right time with an easy user interface, companies are able to optimize their performance in ways that once seemed out of reach before BusinessObjects XI 3.0.

 

WHY CHOOSE BUSINESSOBJECTS XI 3.0?

A BI platform built on open standards that connects to any environment, BusinessObjects XI 3.0 brings together all information, for all people, on one platform.

BusinessObjects XI 3.0 is currently planned to be generally available in Q1, 2008.

"With XI 3.0, we can improve how we take any information that currently exists in silos and integrate it in one central repository for sharing across all our users. Providing access to more information sources enables our users to drive their own comprehensive reporting, answer their own questions, and ultimately make better decisions."
