SAP Explains BusinessObjects Business Intelligence OnDemand

SAP (News - Alert) BusinessObjects Business Intelligence OnDemand is a self-service business intelligence product that lets users explore, report, and share data in the cloud anytime, “without the challenge of a long, complex technology project.”

It “instantly gives you insight into your business,” SAP officials said. “You can use it to explore, port and share your data without help from IT.”

And, because it’s offered in a software as a service (SaaS (News - Alert)) model, “it helps users get up and running in a matter of minutes,” SAP officials said. They’ve prepared a webinar presentation to tell you more about this offering. “Even if you haven’t used BI tools before, you’ll be able to create BI reports immediately, and share them with anybody who needs them.”

According to the presentation, it lets you upload spreadsheets, bring in different data sources, and explore your data with the software’s unique search and browse functionality. You can also use it to create accurate, timely dashboards and reports, and perform ad hoc “what-if” analyses.

Going further, SAP officials said, you can share spreadsheets and reports online with employees, customers, and partners and support users across all lines of business so that they can make “timely, data-driven decisions.”

The video presentation shows that when you log into BI OnDemand, you can organize your data into custome folders for easier access, and “keep the data you don’t want to share separated at all times.” Access data online or offline, in the format of your choice, such as Microsoft (News - Alert) Word or Excel.

Create “powerful” visuals that can display information with a lot more punch, and create communications “individualized for any audience” as well. Users can drill down into the data for their own specific needs.
