"A key driver for deciding on BusinessObjects Edge Series was its dashboard capabilities. We needed to develop standard, global key performance indicators (KPIs) that our store operations, finance team, and executives could use to measure business performance based on one version of the truth. The dashboard capability of BusinessObjects Edge Series will provide KPI visualization and interactive analysis for our executives while underscoring IT's ability to deliver tools to support strategic business initiatives."

Key Features
"Live" Data Access within Microsoft Office for Business Analysts
Incorporating data into presentations, spreadsheets, and documents is often a time-consuming task-especially when you need updates. With BusinessObjects Edge Standard, users can conveniently access and use "live" company data directly in familiar tools like Microsoft Office and SharePoint. Because the data is "live", it can be instantly updated while retaining all formatting and calculations in the Office document. Plus, the information is secured to ensure colleagues can only view and access the data they have the rights to access.
Shared View of the Business
Success requires that everyone knows and understands the goals of the business. BusinessObjects Edge Premium provides an intuitive framework to let you track the performance of your business. Dashboard layout and interactive visual analytic capabilities will help your users gain quick insight into their business performance. Easy to build and user friendly, the dashboards allow users to track metrics, gain insight from underlying analysis, and alter business rules as conditions change.
More than just sharing information, you can also dynamically connect teams of people to specific goals and metrics across many roles and functional areas. Goals can be assigned to specific owners and groups in all departments and functional areas allowing everyone to become a stakeholder. Through threaded discussions, your teams will be able to collaborate-sharing insight and making better decisions. By blending management intuition with hard facts, BusinessObjects Edge Premium allows your users to make effective decisions faster.
Tracking Achievement with Advanced Scorecards
Aligning actions with strategy through goal setting and tracking performance in scorecards will improve organizational performance. Scorecards provided in BusinessObjects Edge Premium enhance visibility, allowing users to easily see the areas that are doing well-and the areas that aren't. Scorecards can be created with your organization's metrics and business rules. Users can check goal and performance status allowing them to immediately see a detailed view that shows trends, performance thresholds, and a view of other stakeholders connected to the goal.
When a goal or initiative is not being met, BusinessObjects Edge Premium alerts users with recommended actions based on a defined workflow. An integrated rules engine will proactively monitor large numbers of metrics and send alerts when conditions change. When examining the root cause of a problem, users will be given a series of prompts and predefined steps for analysis guiding them to the right information so they can quickly make confident decisions.
