SAP Business Objects BI OnDemand is web-based business intelligence software for exploring, reporting, and sharing data online. Users can import and combine data from a variety of sources, explore data with search tools, and visualise data with dashboards and reports. Anyone with an email address can be invited to view, explore, and collaborate on data and visualisations online.
The software's interface guides users through creating interactive visualisations like pivot tables, charts, and graphs, which can be shared with others, displayed on a user's dashboard, or embedded in an external website. Datasets can be manually created, or data can be imported from an Excel or comma-separated-value (.csv) spreadsheet up to 3 MB in size from a database query, from RSS feeds, or from Salesforce.com.
Other files that can be uploaded and shared include Crystal Reports files, PDF files, and text files.
This donation is for one two-year, 10-user license for BI OnDemand Essential Edition. This edition allows one administrative user to set up an organisation within BI OnDemand to create and manage up to nine other users. Each of the 10 users may use up to 2 GB of online storage space. Additional user licenses can be obtained directly from SAP at the regular rate of $25 a month per user.
Signing Up for the Free Personal Edition: This donation is an upgrade from the free BI OnDemand Personal Edition. Before requesting this donation, an organisation must create a Personal Edition account at the ondemand.com/businessintelligence website. Users with crystalreports.com or SAP StreamWork accounts can log in to SAP Business Objects BI OnDemand with login information from those services.
The Personal Edition has similar features to the Essential Edition, but online storage space is limited to 10 MB per user, and the ability to set up organisations to create and manage other users is not available.
Choose Carefully: The administrative fee for this online product is not refundable.
