Newbie Question - SAP BI integration with Business Objects

19 Views

Hi all,

we have a BI 7 platform working here which is going very well, reports are delivered using BEx. There is a new business requirement to have some dashboard reporting, and obviously Business Objects comes top of the list of candidates.

We have about 1,000 people on a single site, with a BI (and Business Objects) user base of around 50 in total, with about 5 concurrent users.

I am considering using the Xcelsius Engage Server to do the dashboarding, using BI as a data source. Does everyone think this is a good idea? If not, what should I be using instead?

Also, can anyone tell me how hard the integration between BI and Xcelsius Engage is from a technical perspective? Is it dreadful, or no worse than connecting source systems to BI?

Thanks in advance for your advice,

Mark
