The enhancements fall into two main areas:

  • Authoring experience
  • Enterprise readiness

Authoring Experience: By natively supporting the new semantic layer, SAP BusinessObjects Dashboards shares a common interface for all data source access and offers an improved and integrated query design experience. For the first time, authors can design dashboards and supporting queries without having to leave their authoring environment. A simplified design experience also eliminates Microsoft Excel work required in previous releases.

Enterprise Readiness: For large-enterprise deployments of dashboards, SAP BusinessObjects Dashboards takes advantage of new dedicated processing and cache services. Because these new services reside on the BI platform, additional infrastructure investments are not required. Finally, for large global deployments, dashboards can be served to users in multiple regions using local languages, eliminating the need to maintain multiple versions of the same document.

These features are described in more detail in the downloadable PDFs on this page.
