However, when such information is gradually increasing, how the information from these massive extraction of useful information to live, so they really play a role in vast amounts of information is becoming increasingly pressing up.
Thus, in the management software, with the Oracle acquisition of Hyperion, SAP acquired Business Object, the way they want through the acquisition of own ERP products into the BI functions, and those who can not be achieved through this extended functionality, management BI software companies not increase the interface with the BI is the increase in BI-related functions.

The evolution of the BusinessObjects product also includes enhanced functionality, such as SAP introduced SAP BusinessObjects Explorer, on the realization of BusinessObjects product portfolio that will search and navigation functions and an effective integration of existing software, SAP, and set navigation, search, and can be Upgrade memory to accelerate functions 1.

At the same time, to navigate the Oracle Business Intelligence is also actively promote and Oracle E-Business Suite, PeopleSoft, and Seibel and other systems integration which PeopleSoft, and Seibel, etc. Oracle also acquired prior to the company. |
