Hyperion, the global leader in business performance management software, has received SAP certification for a number of its offerings:
* It has been certified for integration with the mySAP Business Suite and SAP Business Information Warehouse.
* Hyperion Intelligence 8.2, which delivers powerful ad hoc query and analysis, successfully completed the certification tests for SAP`s Business Information Warehouse solution and achieved Certified for SAP NetWeaver status.
* Hyperion SQR, which provides award-winning, presentation-quality reports, has been certified for the mySAP Business Suite.
"Hyperion Intelligence 8.2 and Hyperion SQR collectively make up the Hyperion Performance Suite," says Marc Scheepbouwer, CEO of local Hyperion distributor Global Technology Business Intelligence (GBI). "Together with Hyperion Essbase, this suite provides the business intelligence platform for Hyperion`s business performance management solutions."
The certified integration between Hyperion`s Performance Suite and the SAP solutions will allow joint customers to maximise their existing investments in Hyperion and SAP software, and gain greater insight from critical business information across the organisation.
"With the integration of the Hyperion Performance Suite and SAP`s Business Information Warehouse, Hyperion and SAP customers can now view data from multiple data sources in Hyperion`s personalised dashboards," Scheepbouwer says. "Dashboards provide a graphical display of performance information spanning financial and operational measures, giving users the information they need to monitor and manage business results."
Jointly, Hyperion solutions and SAP NetWeaver will enable customers to extend query, reporting and analysis into personalised dashboards for all users across the organisation, automatically integrating information from both systems.
They will give users the ability to create intuitive, mission-critical production reports with Hyperion SQR and to quickly access and unify SAP Business Information Warehouse information with data from external sources within a single Hyperion report.
"The integration of our business intelligence solutions with SAP NetWeaver is important to customers who want to extract the maximum value from the information that drives their businesses," Scheepbouwer says. "The continuing relationship between Hyperion and SAP will help customers extend the value of business performance management and business intelligence to employees in all corners of the organisation while maximising scalability and performance."
For the last two years, Hyperion SQR has been honoured as a "Gold Star Winner" of the SAP FAQ annual Members Choice Top 25 Tools and Technology award.
The SAP FAQ is a member group of more than 15 000 leading SAP professionals. This group chose Hyperion SQR as a product that had the "greatest positive impact" on SAP R/3 and mySAP Business Suite implementations.
