Business Intelligence

Business Intelligence solutions comprise a wide range of tools designed to improve the key internal decision-making and management processes of an organisation.   Business Intelligence encompasses information technologies, applications and methods of data collection, standardisation, analysis, presentation and interpretation of business information about the organisation.

Web Intelligence

This platform is based on the SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise software. The application is installed on an independent Web server.

Depending on the level of access rights, the user can create, edit or browse the existing reports.

Web Intelligence can also be used in offline mode through the Web Intelligence thin client which allows the user to work with the local Web Intelligence documents (WID) stored in the workstation.
