Business Objects, a provider of solutions that optimize business performance, this week announced its new software-as-a-software release.
Called BI OnDemand, the company refers to it as a complete suite of business intelligence capabilities, including a data warehouse, delivered on-demand. Two key innovations in BI OnDemand help customers create and manage data warehouses in the cloud more quickly and flexibly, making sure business users receive the most current reporting and analytics information.
First, the new content creation and development capabilities help customers to ensure that data from both on-demand and "on-premise" applications is quickly available to business users. Second, the BI OnDemand accelerator for Salesforce CRM enables customers to build a data warehouse with massive amounts of Salesforce data and prepare it for reporting and analytics ― reducing the implementation time from weeks to days.
"Today we are giving customers a powerful solution to make all information accessible to all people on-demand, regardless of where it comes from, giving people the insight they need to thrive during the economic downturn," said Mani Gill, vice president, OnDemand Solutions, Business Objects. "This is a significant step forward for Business Objects' market leadership in on-demand BI and for our commitment to supporting our customers' heterogeneous computing systems. With our new offering, we are targeting the large enterprise on-demand market, enhancing those companies' ability to deliver full insight to decision-makers."
