Leading Provider of BI Solutions Boosts Integration and Analysis Capabilities

Overview

Business Objects is a leading provider of Business Intelligence (BI) software, offering a full BI software suite that includes query and analysis and performance management tools. In 1993, Microsoft integrated Crystal Reports from Business Objects into Microsoft Visual Basic, and new versions of Crystal Reports have continued to ship concurrently with each new release of Visual Studio and the Microsoft application environment. When Microsoft announced the pre-release of Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 and Microsoft SQL Server 2005, it was natural for Business Objects to work closely with the Microsoft team to take advantage of the new features and maximize the performance of these products with its BI software.
