CA Business Intelligence Infrastructure

CA Business Intelligence (CA BI) is an enterprise reporting infrastructure that enables you to create, maintain, store, schedule, and distribute reports for CA SDM users and roles. BusinessObjects Enterprise XI, Release 2 and its associated tools, coupled with BusinessObjects Crystal Reports XI are the backbone of the architecture. BusinessObjects Enterprise tools are contained in a CA SDM created package, merging CA SDM reporting essentials into an industry leading business intelligence framework.

Note: Although Crystal reports are delivered as the primary component of CA BI, the report creation and maintenance tool, Crystal Reports XI, is not delivered. Crystal Reports XI is a separately licensed product that can be purchased from BusinessObjects and used in conjunction with CA BI.
