Applix announces improved access to SAP BI

Johannesburg, 28 Sep 2007

MCI Consultants, the leading distributor for Applix's TM1 product in South Africa, today announced that the latter is providing greater access to data in SAP and SAP BI 7.0.

The enhanced interface, developed in conjunction with syskoplan AG, a systems integrator and consultancy headquartered in Gutersloh, Germany, enables Applix customers to access strategic information stored in SAP for more informed business decisions with flexible analytics and reporting.

"Many global companies rely on the combination of Applix and SAP to perform planned and ad hoc analysis as well as report on financial and operational information," commented Ben Plummer, senior vice-president of marketing and alliances for Applix.

"We have continued to enhance Applix's integration with SAP to support world-class business analytics. For enterprises, this better access to data stored in SAP BI means they can react faster through performance modelling and analysing operational and financial data."

The Applix complete business analytics solution is based upon a single platform of performance management applications that support the full range of business intelligence and business performance management needs from simple static reporting to real-time planning and forecasting. Together, Applix and syskoplan AG achieved SAP Certified Integration by enabling data housed in an SAP BI 7.0 system, part of the SAP NetWeaver platform, to be rapidly accessed from the Applix platform.

Since such large amounts of raw, vital data are stored in SAP applications, Applix customers will not only experience significantly improved business analytics capabilities but can also continue to protect their investment in existing infrastructures.
