Business Objects partners WebEx

SAN JOSE: Business Objects, business intelligence (BI) solutions provider, and WebEx, collaborative software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications provider, has announced a partnership designed to bring the power of business intelligence (BI) to WebEx Connect users.

This partnership will pave way for knowledge workers to easily access and use critical business data from within the WebEx Connect application.

WebEx Connect will allow users to integrate data from multiple applications into a collaborative workspace custom designed for their particular workflow and business process. By leveraging open Web 2.0 protocols and collaborative WebEx APIs, WebEx Connect will make it easy to adapt on-demand, desktop, and enterprise applications to create composite, 'mash up' applications.

By delivering timely and accurate information to customers, BusinessObjects and WebEx Connect will improve customers' ability to make critical business decisions and improve performance.

With this partnership, crystalreports.com, the leading on-demand report sharing service from Business Objects, will be available through WebEx Connect. Now the strength of crystalreports.com will be available for any 'mash up' that customers create in the WebEx Connect environment.

Our partnership will make business intelligence more accessible to companies of all sizes, both in terms of cost and ease-of-use," said Steve Lucas, vice president of strategic markets at Business Objects. "Joining forces with WebEx is yet another step Business Objects is making in its continued commitment to software as a service."
