Business Objects Xcelsius 2008
Xcelsius 2008 is the first and only dynamic and customizable data visualization software that enables users of different skill levels to create insightful and engaging dashboards from any data source with point-and-click ease.

The promise of simpler ways to visualize data arrives with the integration of our market-leading data visualization product, BusinessObjects? Xcelsius® Enterprise and our business intelligence (BI) platforms. Using Xcelsius with the BusinessObjects platform allows you to access interactive visual models, which feature drop-down menus and sliders that present complex business data clearly. These simple-to-use visualizations give your key decision-makers an easy way to interact with data and test out future business scenarios ? all with the click of a mouse.

Personalized Dashboards for the Enterprise - Our attention to security means you share valuable information with everyone as needed, but decision-makers only see the data you authorize them to view. Combining Xcelsius Enterprise with the BusinessObjects platform ensures sensitive corporate data is protected. Visualizations maintain security no matter where you view the models ? from within BusinessObjects Enterprise XI portals, Microsoft PowerPoint presentations, PDF files, or Microsoft Word documents.

About Business Objects
Business Objects is the world's leading business intelligence (BI) software company. Our software helps organizations gain better insight into their business, improving decision-making and enterprise performance. We are a global software company, with more than 43,000 customers - including over 80 percent of the Fortune 500 - and a network of more than 3,000 partners and resellers. Gartner places Business Objects in the Leaders Quadrant for enterprise BI suites, and IDC ranks Business Objects as the clear BI tools market share leader.

In October of 2007, SAP announced its intent to acquire Business Objects, and the acquisition was completed on January 16, 2008. This unites two of the technology industry?s biggest brands with a shared vision to transform the way the world works by connecting people, information and businesses. Business Objects will continue to operate as an SAP company, retaining the brand and development vision that made Business Objects the leader in the industry.

The core capabilities of the Business Objects product suite can be further broken down into three main components:

* Enterprise Performance Management (EPM)

EPM applications focus on key performance metrics and transform information into a strategic asset. Dashboards and scorecards provide visibility to users regarding organizational strategy and metrics that will improve performance. These products align actions with strategy by enabling assignment of company goals to users or groups of users. Users act more decisively via collaboration with others to share and expand knowledge, taking recommended actions, and capturing trusted best practices to optimize organizational performance.

* Information Delivery and Discovery (IDD)

IDD helps simplify the way that business decisions makers use information, allowing users to access, format, analyze, navigate, and share information across the organization. IDD comprises (enterprise) reporting, query and analysis, dashboards and scorecards, and the BI platform (including search capabilities).

* Enterprise Information Management (EIM)

EIM products and services help improve data quality, understand the relationship and use of information, enable end-to-end data lineage for compliance purposes, and ensure consistent semantics across the business. They provide data integration methods for physical or virtual integration allowing organizations to integrate data from disparate sources and reconcile disparate data for consistency and accuracy. They ensure real-time information access and historical trending and analysis, reducing the time of BI and performance management projects to accelerate the time to decisions
