SAP has enhanced its BusinessObjects Data Services and BusinessObjects Data Federator software, part of its BusinessObjects information management products. These products, which support both SAP and non-SAP IT environments, have already expanded support for the customers with integration with NetWeaver Business Warehouse capability.
According to the company, its BusinessObjects Data Services is a software product that combines data integration and data quality into a single product, providing companies with one environment for improving data and delivering it anywhere. Its BusinessObjects IM products provide business users with integrated, accurate and timely data.
The company said that the new versions of its BusinessObjects Data Services and BusinessObjects Data Federator deliver integration with SAP applications. SAP customers can extract, profile, cleanse and integrate data from non-SAP sources and load that data into its NetWeaver BW, to ensure that trusted information is feeding BI initiatives downstream. Data from its NetWeaver BW can also be federated with other sources to provide a virtual data warehouse in real-time.
Marge Breya, executive vice president and general manager of intelligence platform group and SAP NetWeaver Solution Management at SAP, said: “We have a significant community of SAP BusinessObjects IM customers that continues to grow, showing that trusted data is top of mind for companies today. Our IM solutions make it easier for companies to create a baseline of reliable data, which enables CIOs to provide reliable information to their employees across the organisation quickly and cost-effectively.”
SAP noted that companies can now embed data integration and data quality capabilities into applications and processes with a web services-based toolkit for simple integration. This will help SAP customers to ensure trusted data at the application level, providing business users with accurate data to feed their daily business decisions.
