BI Portal 5.0 Brings BI Analytics & Data Mining Capabilities To
ServiceCenter(R)
ORLANDO, Fla., Gartner IT Expo, Booth #609/611, Oct. 21 /PRNewswire/ --
Peregrine Systems, Inc. (OTC: PRGN), a leading provider of Consolidated Asset
and Service Management solutions, today announced an expanded technology
alliance with Business Objects (Nasdaq: BOBJ), which enables Peregrine to
deliver business intelligence capabilities in its Consolidated Asset and
Service Management solutions. Peregrine's new BI Portal 5.0, introduced
today, delivers a powerful analytic tool designed to transform IT data into
meaningful, business-focused intelligence.
Built on the BusinessObjects(TM) Enterprise 6 BI platform, Peregrine's BI
Portal provides Web-based access to users for intelligent data mining and
trend analysis across the organization. Peregrine chose to leverage
Enterprise 6 because of its market-leading Web query, reporting and analysis
technology, as well as the platform's rich end-user functionality. BI Portal
allows global enterprises to capture, analyze and disseminate service
management information in real-time throughout the company, enabling IT and
non-IT managers to make smart business decisions. BI Portal users can share
information, analyze trends and identify potential problems before they occur,
which are critical capabilities in managing IT for the business.
"The BI Portal allows enterprises to gain a 360-degree view of their IT
infrastructure, extending data transparency beyond IT to any business unit
that needs the information," said Deborah Traub, Peregrine's senior vice
president of product delivery. "Users can define and track key performance
indicators to a consistent set of metrics across the entire organization to
obtain a 'big picture' view of vital information. ServiceCenter customers
using the BI Portal can analyze their service desk in real-time with metrics
tailored to their own environments, thus intelligently optimizing their IT
infrastructure to best serve the needs of their organization."
"With BusinessObjects Enterprise 6, we enable organizations to track,
understand, and manage enterprise performance," said Beverly Powell-Goldman,
Business Objects' vice president of worldwide strategic alliances. "This
alliance allows us to extend our business intelligence platform to Peregrine's
Global 2000 customers, enabling them to more easily access and analyze data to
reduce costs, streamline operations, and ultimately make better business
decisions."
BI Portal 5.0 uses Peregrine's Reporting Data Store (RDS) and leverages a
pre-defined set of metrics and meta data to produce a consolidated list of
business variables for detailed and relevant reporting across the enterprise.
Defining a unified view of their business variables, ServiceCenter customers
can analyze standardized business data from any number of perspectives,
keeping track of the metrics most important to them on a daily basis.
Peregrine's BI Portal also increases the velocity of information, allowing
users to execute pre-defined reports or create their own in real-time and
disseminate it immediately across the enterprise. With the addition of the
Peregrine BI Portal Broadcast Agent, users have unprecedented access to
information from within the familiar, easy-to-use Peregrine portal interface.
