Summary

Today’s competitive organizations need to develop a wide range of e-BI applications that tap as much data as possible and quickly deploy those applications via the Web to managers, employees, partners, suppliers, customers, and constituents—everyone they depend on to make decisions. Developing usable, deployable, and scalable e-BI applications is taking on greater urgency every day.

Finally, a true Web architecture is essential to rapidly provide these business intelligence applications to unlimited numbers of people, and see a quick return on investment. IT can use the same Web-based, integrated Windows development solution to deploy information with speed, quality, and effectiveness that users of all levels can use to access information in any format. In addition, IT can securely manage and administer the system while still allowing power users to develop their own applications.
