Customers Worldwide Achieve Extreme Insight With BusinessObjects XI Industry's Most Advanced and Complete Business Intelligence Platform Receives Thumbs Up From Top Performing Companies
In today's fast-moving, global economy, it's not enough to provide business intelligence to an elite set of BI "power users." To be truly successful, organizations need to enable "information democracy," and empower employees throughout the organization with access to information that can improve performance. With today's announcement of BusinessObjects(TM) XI, companies worldwide can now use the industry's most advanced and complete business intelligence platform to provide all employees in an organization with extreme insight.
Business Objects (Nasdaq:BOBJ)(Euronext Paris ISIN code: FR0004026250 - BOB), the world's leading provider business intelligence (BI) solutions, had more than 100 customers and partners in the worldwide beta program, and their feedback played a significant role in the development of BusinessObjects XI. Feedback from the beta program participants has been very positive, and shows that BusinessObjects XI is ready to take on the world's most demanding business intelligence environments and make information democracy a reality.
BusinessObjects XI has been tested and evaluated by top performing companies, including Aetna, AG Edwards, Apple Computer, AstraZeneca, Bank of America, Charles Schwab, DaimlerChrysler, Discover Financial, Enterprise Rent-a-Car, General Electric, Nortel, Toronto Police Service, and the U.S. Air Force. Following are some comments from customers who have tested or evaluated BusinessObjects XI:
Emergency Medical Associates
"A big hurdle we faced in the past was getting our doctors and nurses to use a business intelligence product. With BusinessObjects XI, our medical professionals have critical data at their fingertips, and they don't have to be software engineers to get to it because BusinessObjects XI is so user friendly," said Jonathan Rothman, director of data management at Emergency Medical Associates. "BusinessObjects XI gives us one point of access for all of our business intelligence content, complete integration between our Crystal and Business Objects deployments, and the ability to rapidly deploy information to our hospitals where getting information in a timely manner is critical."
Jefferson Pilot Financial
"Our customer product environment runs nearly 100% of the time, so stability and reliability is a huge factor for us. From our testing experience, BusinessObjects XI provides a dependable and reliable platform," said Reggie Gentle, software engineer at Jefferson Pilot Financial. "We are also very pleased with the robust security system for managing content delivery that we have seen in our testing of BusinessObjects XI. Comprehensive security support and trust are critical success factors for our business intelligence deployment at Jefferson Pilot Financial. The setup of the security system was very straightforward."
Meriwest Credit Union
"BusinessObjects XI will be the enterprise standard at Meriwest Credit Union," said Hudson Lee, chief financial officer at Meriwest Credit Union. "BusinessObjects XI will ensure consistency in the information we work with and provide one version of the truth across the business. It is important in the financial services sector that everyone in a company view data in the same way in order to improve performance. As CFO, I need to know how we are doing, and monitor everything from our success in sales and marketing, to which products are working and which ones are not. I can do this easily with BusinessObjects XI."
Mosaic Sales Solutions
"BusinessObjects XI will help us drive performance from top to bottom," said Tom Meissner, vice president of technology at Mosaic Sales Solutions. "We are moving to a more consistent method of accessing our Crystal and Business Objects technologies, and the complete integration provided by BusinessObjects XI is key to our success as we reinvent the way we handle information delivery. BusinessObjects XI has a number of new features, but we are specifically pleased about the single-sign on capability. With BusinessObjects XI, our users can log on and from one portal view and interact with the data."
Mott MacDonald
"We feel BusinessObjects XI represents a significant step forward," said Darren Russell, IT director at Mott MacDonald. "In particular, we are impressed with the new user interface which now has as standard a number of features that should allow us to simplify our implementation to provide a more reliable and user friendly system. This will allow us to achieve our objective of using BusinessObjects XI as our standard reporting software."
National College for School Leadership
"We are very impressed with how integrated the Business Objects and Crystal Decisions technologies are," said Leslie Wiggins, technical design manager at the National College for School Leadership. "A key advantage for us is ease of use, this is particularly important as our users are business rather than technical people. We are looking forward to adding the information query and analysis capabilities of BusinessObjects Web Intelligence to our existing Crystal Reports(R). I am confident that the capabilities provided by BusinessObjects XI will enable us to demonstrate the difference we are making to teaching and learning development in the UK."
Port of Napier
"The new features and functionality of BusinessObjects XI provide us with both the strategic and operational efficiencies that have not been possible in the past," said Steve Johansen, CIO at Port of Napier. "We are very impressed with the improved speed, and the new interface and report designer have much more user appeal. We are moving to production on BusinessObjects XI now. It will be the new one-stop shop for information for the entire organization and our business partners. You might say that BusinessObjects XI will become both our navigation aide and engine room on our voyage to the future."
