Business Objects aims to predict the future with business intelligence

This is a powerful move for Business Objects and SAP. Business Objects have had for years the click-and-drag reporting capabilities, the functionality of standard deviation, and with the predictive analytics capabilities this will become a powerful force in business analytics. I have always been impressed by the products of these companies. The combination of these two companies, their technical functionalities and worldwide market reach put us closer to unleash the power of the mind by putting business analytics at the fingertip of every employee in a company.
