XWIS fully integrates into your SAP BusinessObjects environment

The XWIS Enterprise platform combines a sophisticated back end server designed to provide data quickly and efficiently with a set of smart front end components that minimize connections to your BI system, are optimized to handle large data sets, and provide rich, out of the box interactivity to your dashboard users.

XWIS fully integrates into your SAP BusinessObjects environment:

Component

Description

XWIS Smart Components

The XWIS Smart Components are installed as an add-in to your SAP BusinessObjects Dashboards and Xcelsius environment.

The XWIS Smart Components give you out of the box access to the rich, interactive functionality your users are demanding… without any coding. Using XWIS Smart Components you'll slash dashboard development time and total cost of ownership and promote effective decision making through increased interactivity and greater accessibility.

For dashboard creation, XWIS supports Xcelsius 2008 SP1 and above and SAP BusinessObjects Dashboards 4.0 and above.

XWIS Powered Dashboard

When you publish an XWIS powered dashboard to your business users they'll be accessing a high-performance, richly interactive dashboard that helps them make better informed decisions.

XWIS Powered Dashboards are distributed as an Adobe Flash format file.

As a dashboard designer using XWIS, you can give your users offline access to their dashboards – where all the data, formatting and interactivity is preserved and packaged into a single, portable Adobe Flash format file. Offline dashboards are protected using 128-bit encryption.

XWIS Server

The XWIS server acts as a middleware layer between your XWIS dashboards and the underlying systems that supply data into these dashboards.

The XWIS server's data management functionality delivers the most efficient data access against your BI systems, optimizing dashboard performance for speed of thought analysis.

The XWIS server provides native access to data and meta-data stored within different BI Systems including SAP BusinessObjects, SQL databases, and OLAP cubes.

The XWIS server provides authentication services for non-BusinessObjects installations.

Administration

Within the Administration Tool, you define each of the BI Systems you want to connect to. A single XWIS system can manage content across multiple different BusinessObjects systems (XI and 4.0) and non-BusinessObjects systems such as Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL and OLAP databases.

XWIS Repository

Meta data relating to XWIS, e.g. custom hierarchies, variables, and alerts, are stored within the XWIS repository. We recommend that you deploy our repository within its own database schema on one of the supported RDBMS platforms: SQL Server, Oracle or MySQL.

XWIS Publish

With XWIS Publish you can extend the reach of Business Intelligence throughout the organization and deliver dashboards created with the XWIS Smart Components to new users in new ways.

XWIS Publish is installed as an add-on to your existing SAP BusinessObjects BI publishing platform and uses the power of SAP BusinessObjects to schedule and deliver personalized dashboards into your users' inboxes.

XWIS Publish works with BusinessObjects XI Release 3 and above.

XWIS Anywhere

With XWIS Anywhere your mobile and tablet users gain an easy way to access their dashboards, through a lightweight, Adobe Flash based portal. All their dashboards are available in one central place from their mobile device.

XWIS Anywhere appears as a native app on your users' devices, so it is always to hand when needed.

With XWIS Anywhere, you create one dashboard and your users automatically get a view of this dashboard which is optimized for their device. With smaller screen sizes, XWIS Anywhere users can zoom in, to focus on one component at a time and then cycle through other components on the dashboard.

XWIS Anywhere currently supports Google Android Smartphones and Tablets.
