Would you like to do one or more of the following:

ad-hoc analysis of your Siebel data, drilling down through multiple levels of detail, and slicing and dicing to find trends and correlations within the data?
let your users develop their own reports with no need for them to understand anything about the way Siebel stores its data?
free your IT department from the need to spend hours and days writing Siebel Reports?
use BusinessObjects as your corporate standard report writer across all applications, including Siebel?
be able to deploy new reports to users without having to change your Siebel configuration?

do all of this for all your Siebel users, whether they are directly connected or users of Siebel Remote?
ensure that users can only access data to which they are authorised by the business rules defined in Siebel?
improve the performance of Siebel Reports?
Business Intelligence for Siebel does all of this and more by integrating the world’s leading Query, Reporting and Analysis product, BusinessObjects from the company of the same name, directly into Siebel.

This short document explains how you can easily implement all of this functionality in your Siebel implementation. For readers who are already users of BusinessObjects, we would suggest that you skip directly to the section called Integrating BusinessObjects and Siebel. First, however, we provide some information on the capabilities of BusinessObjects.

Business Objects

Report end-users are running up against the limits inherent in traditional reporting tools. Users need immediate access to the data stored in their information systems. Staff at all levels need to be able to create dynamic reports as and when they are required, giving them the ability to analyse the data present.

BusinessObjects is a user-friendly Business Intelligence tool which is designed to allow end-users to analyse data stored in multiple sources. BusinessObjects allows users to have quick and easy access to vital decision making data in a straightforward fashion. BusinessObjects can be used for both simple reports highlighting key statistics, or interactively, to analyse business information.
