Enhanced support for multidimensional data sources is among the highlights in the latest version of the Brio Enterprise suite of business intelligence products, Version 5.5.4. Available immediately, the new features in Brio Enterprise 5.5.4, as well as new service and support offerings, also include improved security and internationalisation with double byte character set (DBCS).
With Brio`s new Open Authentication Model, customers can leverage previous investments in setting up secure application environments, as well as save maintenance and setup time and simplify access when deploying Brio Enterprise across an intranet. Brio`s new user-defined JavaBean Authentication feature enables integration of existing security systems with the Brio OnDemand Server, allowing organisations to maintain a single source of login authentication.
Also with this update, Brio`s Web-enabled products now support the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol to access documents for viewing and analysis, benefiting companies that want to publish data sets and reports securely to their intranet or extranet community.
The DBCS support enables organisations to use Brio`s English-language business intelligence software to query, analyse and report against double-byte data in other languages such as Korean and traditional Chinese.
Reflecting the company`s goal to be the universal front-end for business intelligence, Brio has extended its client support for multidimensional data sources. With the addition of support for OLE DB for OLAP, Brio Enterprise now provides connectivity to all multidimensional data sources using the new API, including Applix TM1, SAS, NCR TeraCubes and Microsoft SQL Server 7. Brio`s multi-tier architecture also allows any Web client to use data sources connected via OLE DB for OLAP. Brio also provides native support for Informix`s MetaCube family of decision-support software.
Brio products are represented in South Africa by Abraxas Software.
