Historic audit analysis New!

The Historic Audit Analysis Prototype allows you to create periodic historic reports in-memory without the need for a data warehouse. Users simply create a standard BusinessObjects query against a live data source, and then using the tool, they can generate reports for any point in the past. Historic Audit Analysis does this by unlocking the information stored in database change logs to rebuild historic state. This liberates users from having to create data warehouses, and it allows on-demand historical reporting in a way that is not currently supported.

Social Network Analyzer New!

NEW 1.1 version. Social Network Analyzer aggregates existing enterprise data, using business intelligence techniques, to help you find entities/people based on multiple criteria, understand their relationships, connect with them and get up-to-date statistics on your organization. The purpose of this technology is to deliver an environment where people can easily and quickly analyze corporate network relationships and find the information they are looking for in their daily jobs.

XBCML Widgets New!
