In a bid to beef up its Business All-in-One ERP product for mid-sized companies, enterprise software giant SAP today announced a plan to offer pre-configured business intelligence functionality from its SAP BusinessObjects Edge BI series as part of All-in-One.
SAP also announced plans to provide its integration partners with SAP Business Objects data migration tools to help mitigate the risks and costs associated with transferring data from other enterprise systems into All-in-One.
With the addition of Business Objects functionality as well as the data migration tools, SAP hopes to expand All-in-One “from a pure ERP solution to a full business offering” for mid-sized companies, the company said in today’s announcement.
The Business Objects functionality will add pre-built reports and dashboards to All-in-One, in order to help users keep track of operational data from disparate reporting tools and applications, and identify trends and variances, SAP said. In addition, users of the integrated product will be able to perform ad hoc query and analysis based on up-to-date performance data, the company said.
