Information Discovery

Reporting and query and analysis are excellent for business people who have some idea of what they are looking for. But what about users who want to sift and browse through data in the same way they are used to browsing through information sources like the Web? A new category of tools call information discovery covers this need. Rather than just searching documents, our information discovery tools allow people to browse through data in an easy and intuitive way. Locate information hidden in hundreds of internal and external resources, such as structured databases, business intelligence (BI) systems, unstructured company and text content, search engines and the web. 

Benefits within an Integrated BI Platform

• Powerful extraction, categorization, and summarization capabilities allow your decision-makers to quickly identify and understand the concepts, people, organizations, places, and other information that only exists in unstructured text sources
• Quickly search, locate and highlight business intelligence (BI) content from Google Search Appliance and other search engines favored by employees to increase productivity by finding BI reports and metrics alongside related business documents and web pages while full BusinessObjects security is applied and maintained
• Get BI-ready consumable external information – so your organization can add context to its business intelligence by benchmarking your performance against external market metrics. Information sources include the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, Dun & Bradstreet, eBay transaction data, U.S. Census Bureau, etc
