Date:   Friday , April 02, 2010

The business software giant SAP recently unveiled its SAP ‘BusinessObjects’, the Business Intelligence (BI) on-demand solution, in the country as an attempt to reach out its software-as-a-service (SaaS) BI tools to all segments of the Indian market.

SAP has launched this software in three editions. On-demand offerings from the SAP BusinessObjects portfolio currently have more than 260,000 subscribers.

The software could help meet a growing demand from companies of all sizes. Apart from being an analytics tool, the solution includes capabilities that make it easier for business users to tap into their data online, get better insight into their organization, and securely share reports and dashboards with colleagues. “In India, we are seeing a rapid adoption of BI tools,” says Peter Gartenberg, Managing Director, SAP India.

While designing the product, the company has considered the advancements in technology and the change in business environments with the adoption of cloud computing products. Since many people use mobile phones to meet their business needs, SAP also plans to have this solution on mobile phones.
