Novell (Nasdaq:NOVL) and Hyperion (Nasdaq:HYSL) announced today a partnership
to deliver personalized, business-critical information quickly and accurately.
Leveraging identity management, portal and data integration technology from
Novell, the Novell® exteNd* secure enterprise dashboard solution can now
tap the power of Hyperion's Business Performance Management solutions to deliver
a unified view of disparate information, organized in easy-to-use, business-relevant
formats. With the secure enterprise dashboard solution, decision makers gain
access to the actionable financial and operational data they need to make the
right choices for the business.
This secure enterprise dashboard solution will be demonstrated at Solutions
2004, April 25 - 28. Solutions is Hyperion's annual user conference and the
world's premier event for Business Performance Management.
"Combining business intelligence solutions with a secure identity-based
framework delivers the most critical information for decision making in a timely,
safe, and easy-to-digest way," said Joe Forgione, vice president of solutions
for Novell. "Hyperion's strong integration with Novell technologies makes
it a compelling addition to Novell's secure enterprise dashboard, giving customers
an effective new tool to improve decision making within the organization from
one of the industry's leading business performance management and business intelligence
vendors."
"We increasingly see large organizations opt to embed business intelligence
into the enterprise portal framework in order to smash information silos and
push intelligence to a broader user community," said Kurt Schlegel, program
director for Enterprise Analytic Strategies at META Group. "However, providing
business intelligence through a web-based portal to users inside
and outside the firewall will require exceptionally strong role-based security
and data integration."
"Combining Hyperion's Business Performance Management capabilities with
Novell's strengths in role-based security and data integration can help decision
makers leverage information more effectively and safely," said John Kopcke,
CTO of Hyperion. "This solution enhances the value of information from
multiple business systems and teams, giving enterprise decision makers the visibility
they need to seize opportunities and respond to challenges.
The Novell secure enterprise dashboard solution enables organizations to access
information from virtually any enterprise system - regardless of platform, vendor
or format - through a single portal interface. Its underlying secure identity
management foundation protects sensitive data from unauthorized access and customizes
the information displayed to match the needs of individual users.
Hyperion Business Performance Management software helps companies translate
strategies into plans, monitor execution, and provide insight to improve financial
and operational performance. It combines the world's leading planning, financial
reporting, consolidation and modeling applications with a powerful and scalable
business intelligence platform. Hyperion is also known for its easy to use and
deploy dashboards, which combine data from Business Performance Management applications,
business intelligence and also transactional data sources into a customizable
view of performance.
Novell will discuss its dashboard solutions in a break out session at Solutions
2004 on Monday, April 26th. For more information about Solutions
