XI Enhancements

There are a multitude of enhancements to the suite of products offered in XI .  Just a few of these include -

  • Desktop Intelligence supports existing Full Client reports in the XI environment
  • WebIntelligence XI functionality is even closer to that of Desktop Intelligence,  allowing greater conversions from Desktop Intelligence to WebIntelligence documents.  This is crucial should your user-base require delivery of BI information via a single web-based portal
  • Crystal Reports and Business Objects products are integrated into a single platform, allowing for consolidation of your BI deployment and therefore lowering the total cost of ownership.
  • BusinessObjects Live Office integrates interactive Business Intelligence content into a familiar Microsoft Office environment
  • Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) which allows for integrated dashboards and relevant key performance indicators to be delivered to users at all levels of your business
  • Data Integrator XI facilitates the greater demand now placed on Data Quality.  This ETL tool is now even more tightly integrated into the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI infrastructure
  • Semantic Layer improvements now allow for a huge amount of flexibility when accessing your data sources
