Self-service Information Access

Edge BI gives you convenient, self-service access to corporate information.

You log on once to a single, centralized system to access all the key data you need. Using intuitive wizards and toolbars, you can select data from documents – or create an ad hoc data selection – all within Microsoft Office.

Once you’ve embedded the information into your document, you can quickly format, reorganize, and perform calculations – using the familiar features in Microsoft Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, and Word.

Edge BI Security

Secure, Shared Documents

Traditionally, Microsoft Office documents contain static information that relies solely on version control for proper updating and a password for security.

Edge BI takes advantage of the security SAP BusinessObjects provides. The underlying report automatically retains your security parameters to help ensure that users see only the data they should have access to – and security is maintained, even when you share the document outside the firewall.
