IMPROVE DECISION MAKING WITH VISUAL SIMPLICITY
The amount of information your organisation produces continues to increase exponentially. To ensure competitive advantage, it’s critical that you unlock the power of essential data quickly and efficiently. Data visualization from Business Objects, an SAP company, offers a simple yet effective way for your decision-makers to quickly understand, collaborate and act on key business information – improving business performance.

The promise of simpler ways to visualize data arrives with the integration of the market-leading data visualization product, BusinessObjects™ Xcelsius® Enterprise and the business intelligence (BI) platforms, BusinessObjects XI and BusinessObjects Edge Series. 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.

Imagine a sales executive who illustrates sales information for different products across various markets and regions. The executive can now use Xcelsius what-if analysis to demonstrate how decreasing inventory for a particular product line might affect northeast regional sales. Because these visual models stay connected to data sources, the model is constantly refreshed, guaranteeing up-to-date insight for the executive.
HOW IT WORKS
Xcelsius Enterprise provides a simple, personalised view of your organisation’s data to enable better understanding, insightful decision-making and scenario evaluation.

Business decisions require immediate answers – often, waiting on information is not an option. With the dynamic combination of Xcelsius Enterprise and the BusinessObjects platform, your decision-makers gain real-time insights to critical business data-enabling business analysis on key data your users can trust and refresh instantly.

Xcelsius Enterprise can connect to your Business Objects data in two ways. The visual model can connect directly to a Business Objects universe via Web Services created with the easy-to-use utility, Query as a Web Service. Or, your Xcelsius visualization can leverage Live Office to connect to a Crystal report, BusinessObjects Web Intelligence® document, or ad hoc query.

The end result is an interactive dashboard with live data connectivity for accurate, consistent information, providing you with immediate and trusted results.
