SAP BusinessObjects Update
One Year Later: What You Need To Know About SAP and the SAP BusinessObjects Portfolio  Print

by Davin Wilfrid

A year after acquiring business intelligence (BI) and performance management vendor Business Objects for $6.8 billion, SAP has continued to push the evolution of the combined suite of products. Business Objects is now called SAP BusinessObjects, and offers a more tightly integrated suite of tools and technologies that sit on top of SAP ERP, SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse (SAP NetWeaver BW), and other data sources. The result is a unified platform that delivers real-time information to business users and offers business process-focused solutions for other important areas such as risk management and system performance.

Categories: Business Objects, News, SAP BusinessObjects

BW, Business Intelligence, GRC, SAP BusinessObjects GRC, governance, risk, and compliance

In January, SAP changed the names of some products to clarify how the pieces all fit together. All the former Business Objects tools — and some former SAP applications, such as those for managing governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) — now fall under the SAP BusinessObjects portfolio. See Figure 1 for an updated list of all products now in the SAP BusinessObjects portfolio.
