Business Objects, a business-intelligence solutions provider based in Munich, Germany, is one of the featured exhibitor’s at this year’s Wincor World in Paderborn.
At the show, Business Objects will exhibit its BusinessObjects XI Platform — a new product that provides companies with an advanced and complete BI-technology platform. The platform includes reporting — accessing, formatting and delivering data; query and analysis — giving end-users self-service analysis; performance management — aligning actions with strategies; data integration — accessing, transforming and integrating data; and support and service — getting maximum results from data that’s collected.
At Wincor World, Business Objects will demonstrate financial-services solutions that may be applied at a variety of companies. The solutions allow business-users to engage in collaborative analysis and decision-making within dashboards, scorecards and reports.
For example, if a sales manager looks at a dashboard and notices that sales in one particular area have decreased, the manager can initiate a secure discussion within the BI environment and work with other sales managers to better understand the business problem, said Alexander Klaus, director of marketing for Business Objects, Central Europe.
"New features in BusinessObjects XI will help break down the barriers to BI adoption," said Wayne Eckerson, director of research, The Data Warehousing Institute. "For example, the product will enable users, particularly those new to BI, to discuss each report and recommend next steps. Also, the new BI Encyclopedia provides information about reports that help users learn more about their business."
Klaus will be demonstrating the XI platform and will be available to answer questions. To learn more about Business Objects and its products, stop by the Business Objects booth.
