Deliver Data Anywhere - Anytime

BusinessObjects Edge Professional gives you access to data integration capabilities, allowing mid-size companies to easily explore, extract, transform, and deliver data anywhere, at any frequency. With the data integration capability of Professional, you can easily move data volumes in real time or at any interval, allowing you to manage and organize disparate data systems to gain a single view of your organization. Impact Analysis

Impact Analysis

An integral part of your BusinessObjects Edge Professional deployment is the unique ability to interchange metadata between the data integration and the BI platform. Metadata integration provides end-to-end impact analysis, allowing you to see the effect of changes in the source systems to the BI reports. As a result, you easily manage change in your BI environment.

Data Lineage

Data lineage is another benefit of BusinessObjects Edge Professional, allowing BI users to view the context of data in their BI reports. Your users can see when data was updated, how it was computed, and where it came from—all the way back to the original transactional source. This visibility is critical to helping your users gain better trust in their information.
