Business Objects Launches Mid-Market BI Solution with IBM

Business Objects, a provider of business intelligence (BI) solutions, announced that Crystal Reports(R) Server will be bundled within a new BI appliance launched by IBM. IBM Balanced Warehouse C1000 is an information integration, content delivery and reporting solution for the mid-market from IBM and Business Objects. This joint solution, available worldwide, was launched from the Gartner BI Summit, as part of IBM's dynamic warehousing strategy.

The IBM Balanced Warehouse C1000 combines IBM DB2 Warehouse Starter Edition, Crystal Reports Server from Business Objects, and Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server in a pre-integrated, pre-tested solution with an easy, single-installation format. Crystal Reports Server, a packaged reporting solution that includes everything mid-sized organizations need to create, deliver and manage reports over the web, is the only BI solution bundled as part of the new IBM BI solution.

IBM Balanced Warehouse C1000 offers a solution for mid-sized companies that need to integrate multiple, scattered data resources into a scalable data warehouse from which to create, manage, schedule and deliver secure business or organizational reports. These reports can be delivered over the web or embedded into applications, empowering management with timely business intelligence. The solution, which will be delivered globally through IBM and Business Objects channel partners, is pre-integrated, pre-tested and configured for single installation to accelerate deployment.

In addition to the C1000 launch, IBM is also launching IBM Balanced Warehouse C3000 Foundation Solution as part of its broader dynamic warehousing initiative. Business Objects will support the C3000 through integration of Business Objects Crystal

Decisions(R), the new mid-market BI platform from Business Objects. Crystal Decisions provides companies with ad hoc reporting, query and analysis, and dashboards to drive fast, data-driven decision-making; accessibility to a broad array of business users; and integration with Microsoft Office for ease of sharing BI across the organization. The combination of the C3000 with Crystal Decisions will scale to as much as one terabyte of data.
