Explore, report, and share data with the SAP BusinessObjects BI OnDemand solution. It's a comprehensive business intelligence solution in a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model that helps users get up and running in minutes.

Self-Service Business Intelligence for Everyone

In a fast-paced business environment, you need to know your decisions are based on the most current data. And, as capital budgets dwindle, you want to maximize your investment in new technology. The SAP BusinessObjects BI OnDemand solution helps you do both.

This self-service business intelligence (BI) solution supports an intuitive process for business users to explore, report, and share data "in the cloud" anytime, without the challenge of a long, complex technology project. Because it's offered in a SaaS model, it helps business users get up and running in a matter of minutes.

How It Works

Using the interface in SAP BusinessObjects BI OnDemand, you can follow an intuitive process to upload a spreadsheet, bring in different data sources, and explore your data with the software's unique search and browse functionality.

The integrated solution lets you create accurate, timely dashboards and reports. That means you no longer need to pull together sales reports from various sources or manually create pivot tables, charts, and graphs. You can also perform ad hoc, what-if analyses. There's no need to share spreadsheets and reports via e-mail or paper – instead, you can share the information online.
