Informix Corp and Business Objects SA are to integrate the Paris-based company’s eponymous query, reporting and on-line analytical processing tools with Informix’s MetaCube analytical processing engine. The combination will enable users to perform multidimensional data analysis on the client and the server. Informix users get to use Business Objects’ query and reporting tool, while Business Objects users can access data in Informix databases through MetaCube. BusinessObjects will also make possible the automatic generation of documents from MetaCube, and mobile users can pull MetaCube data into BusinessObjects for analysis and reporting while disconnected from the network. And Kingston, Ontario-based Andyne Computing Ltd is to intregrate its PaBlo multi-dimensional query and reporting tools with MetaCube as well.
