SAP BusinessObjects Explorer

FULL DESCRIPTION

For effective decision making, your business users require quick, easy answers to off-the-cuff questions; better understanding of the business with minimal training required or dependency on IT. Most importantly, organizations need fast access to relevant, quality information anywhere in the enterprise. But that can be a tall order your users are contending with traditional business intelligence (BI) tools that don't fully meet their needs, and slow-running queries and unpredictable response times hamper performance. What's more, your IT team is being pulled in a million directions - facing an unmanageable workload, spiraling costs, and rapidly changing business priorities.

SAP can help.

SAP BusinessObjects Explorer software combines intuitive information search and exploration functionality with high performance and scalability of SAP NetWeaver BW Accelerator, so you can empower your organization to extend the reach of BI to all of your business users. With immediate insight to a vast amount of data, your users can explore business at the speed of thought - and improve their ability to make sound, timely decisions.

• Search across relevant data sources - Users simply enter a few search keywords to find the most relevant information instantly from across all data sources - without requiring previous knowledge about what data exists or where to find it.
