SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence consolidates all SAP BusinessObjects front-end products used by the end-users to consult or create reports. SAP has integrated the full BusinessObjects product portfolio within their own offering starting 2007, after the acquisition of the company.

Within the product portfolio of Business Intelligence, you can find the own developed products by BusinessObjects, next to products they have acquired and integrated in the product suite (e.g. Crystal Reports).

The SAP BusinessObjects platform is the core of the reporting and analysis suite. The platform is used as primary access to publish, store, create and share reports and to perform analysis within the different products. The SAP BusinessObjects platform can be the portal environment towards your integrated reporting environment.

The integrated SAP BusinessObjects BI platform can contain following products:

  • SAP BusinessObjects WebIntelligence; the analysis tool for your relational environment. Within SAP BusinessObjects WebIntelligence, you can easily create your own report with attractive charts, a flexible lay-out and advanced drilling functionality.
