About Business Objects
Business Objects enables organizations to track, understand, and manage enterprise performance. The company's solutions leverage the information that is stored in an array of corporate databases, enterprise resource planning (ERP), and customer relationship management (CRM) systems. Popular uses of BI include enterprise reporting, management dashboards and scorecards, customer intelligence applications, financial reporting, and both customer and partner extranets. These solutions enable companies to gain visibility into their business, acquire and retain profitable customers, reduce costs, optimize the supply chain, increase productivity, and improve financial performance. In December 2003, Business Objects completed the acquisition of Crystal Decisions, a leader in enterprise reporting with more than 16 million licenses of Crystal Reports shipped worldwide. The combined product line includes software for reporting, query and analysis, performance management, analytic applications, and data integration. Business Objects has more than 24,000 customers in more than 80 countries.
