SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise

All Information.  One place

SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise is an industry-standard enterprise solution, offering a full BI toolset on a single platform. Its scalable information infrastructure and ease of integration into existing IT infrastructure reduce the cost of deployment and maintenance. The self-service web portal (Infoview) provides a central place for all your BI assets and a fast, secure and trusted way to get all the data you need to make business decisions. 

Agile Solutions can help you with everything you need to build and optimise your own SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise platform, from designing a complete solution through installation, deployment and migration  from an older version of BusinessObjects to performance tuning and health checks.

Product features

Powerful semantic layer

The semantic layer (“universe”) makes metadata easily accessible to non-technical users, allowing them to create ad-hoc queries and BI content without database knowledge.

Infoview

A secure, central, web-based BI portal lets you access all your BI assets in one place.

Live Office

Add fresh data from BI reports in Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint documents.

Auditing

All user activity on the deployment can be audited. A universe and a set of auditing reports are provided to help you monitor system usage.

Content search

Reports, metrics and universe metadata are indexed and can be searched from the Infoview portal to give you quick and easy access to the data you are looking for.

BI widgets

Desktop widgets bring BI information straight to your desktop. Use desktop widgets to display parts of your favourite reports or metrics on your desktop for real-time BI insight at a glance.

Central control and administration

The Central Management Console offers a central interface for secure configuration and administration of the entire deployment.

Life-cycle management

Safely promote or roll back BI content between the different stages of the life-cycle (development - testing - production).

Publishing

Scheduled distribution of personalised BI content to users in their preferred format: in the Infoview portal, as a report file, as an Excel spreadsheet or a text file.

Performance

High scalability, built-in load-balancing, caching and data sharing between applications provide consistent performance whether you have 30 or 3000 users.

Embed BI in other applications

Integrate your BI assets into other applications using the SDK, or connect to the semantic layer from custom applications using Web Services.  The SDK allows for the creation of custom applications utilising the BO Enterprise toolset.
