Products by Business Objects

Business Objects provides a comprehensive set of common services to simplify deployment and management of business intelligence (BI) tools, report and analytic applications. Computer Software Alliance will provide software from Business Objects to meet these critical needs of its customers:

• Reporting. Reporting is the process of accessing data, formatting it and delivering it as information inside and outside the organization. Business Objects software, such as Crystal Reports, serves as the foundation of a broader business intelligence (BI) strategy by providing the most-requested pieces of information reliably and securely -- via the web or embedded in enterprise applications.

• Query and Analysis. Business Objects query and analysis products let analysts and power users create their own queries from scratch, without having to understand complex database schemas or SQL, and easily add calculations to deliver more insight from the data. With software such Webintelligence for Business Objects, they can share that information with others across the enterprise -- and beyond.

• Data Integration. Software from Business Objects (such as BusinessObjects Data Integrator) allows business analysts to access, integrate, transform, and deliver enterprise data from any source for reporting, query and analysis, analytic applications, and performance management.
