BusinessObjects XI 3.0
|
All Information. All People. One Platform.
The BusinessObjects XI 3.0 platform breaks the barriers of traditional business intelligence (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. It is 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.
All Information. Bring together all the information required for confident decision-making.
All People. Get alignment across people, teams and your business ecosystem.
One Platform. Leverage a single, integrated platform for meeting BI and information management needs.
Built on top of our BI platform—BusinessObjects Enterprise—BusinessObjects XI 3.0 is the first platform of its kind to combine data integration and data quality in the same single offering. With everyone having access to the right information at the right time with an easy user interface, companies are able to optimize their performance in ways that once seemed impossible.
Built on an open BI platform that connects to any environment, BusinessObjects XI 3.0 brings users and information together.
