Time? Money? Both these values that are crucial to every business depend on organization performance. Managers could be the most experienced, company - well organized, but that doesn't guarantee the results. The most meaningful challenge today's business needs to struggle with is immediate answering on changing market conditions. Delivering timely and accurate analysis, making efficient and reliable forecasts that help minimizing the risk. These are the things which SAP BusinessObjects Voyager solution is provided for.

Voyager strengths

Basically, there are three most meaningful aspects which SAP BusinessObjects Voyager is devoted to. At first, it is delivering the most powerful analysis in the market followed with a quick consideration of data from OnLine Analytical Processing tools. At second, comprehensive and immediate access to data  in the two directions. At third, these are many differentiated deployment options which money isn't the most meaningful value within.

OLAP data sharing and analysis

Most of today's analyst tools do not actually meet the requirements. Being somehow a compromise between an analysis tool indeed and report creating platform, they - in point of fact - often lack of more sophisticated options that one could consider useful. In case of SAP BusinessObjects Voyager it's a bit different - once the tool is designed exactly for analysts, neither of them of them would discover any irritating lack.

Speed and efficiency

- these are the two things which analysts benefit from and - simultaneously - these are the two main Voyager features. The size of data sets that need to be operated doesn't actually matter, once the engine of the system is flexible and work well even with the largest data volumes. If other solutions allowed to observe the whole or dive into each area of data, BusinessObjects Voyager would be a step forward allowing to watch these two at the same time. One can therefore focus on detailed data, still keeping the eye on the whole.

However, speed is one thing and practice is another. Within SAP BusinessObjects Voyager analysts are provided with a wide range of calculations followed with numerous additional and automated options that let predict each business decision's consequences even more accurately. The last step is to share analysis with other managers across the organization. The SAP solutions allows to quickly export findings to Microsoft Office Excel spreadsheets or Adobe PDF documents.

Comprehensive data access

Formerly, that wasn't possible to access only a part of data. As a consequence, everything was going slowly and not enough efficiently. With SAP BusinessObjects Voyager, operation concerns only the data that is needed. Once there's no need for interfering in all data, every process can be driven faster and more efficiently. If an operation requires data from two or more different data sources, then it's extracted and separated within a special workspace. As a result, all those primary data sources don't need to be in ready to go mode.

Moreover, analysts no longer remain dependent to IT support departments - once they're given with a wide range of automated functions, technicians involvement hardly ever is needed. That also impinges on the efficiency of working.

Cost-effective deployment capabilities

Analysis is useful as long as they're payable. In case of SAP BusinessObjects Voyager, the matter of costs considers deployment at most. With numerous modern techniques used for designing the architecture of the system, OLAP analysis don't require additional development nor deployment. Lower complexity, lower costs, and less time needed for analysis regardless of their type or data source. Supported with numerous additional related tools, the Voyager system can be used efficiently for even the most differentiated Business Intelligence purposes.
