OperationalReports These reports track every pertinent detail of the company’s operational tasks, such as its production processes. They are typically short-term reports as they aim to paint a picture of the present. They are typically short-term reports as they aim to paint a picture of the present.
BusinessObjects has matured over 30 years to provide organizations with operational and business intelligence reporting and ad-hoc analysis that is both comprehensive and user friendly.
Now, instead of making a direct call to the underlying database to retrieve information, a report must query a so-called “data entity” instead. Each data entity provides an abstract representation of businessobjects within the database, such as, customers, general ledger accounts, or purchase orders.
I mentioned in a previous blog The Future of Business Intelligence Reporting about how BusinessObjects was ,and still is ,used for operationalreporting so you cannot just replace it with a cloud based BI tool that has inferior or no operationalreporting capability.
The world not only still runs on reports but needs them more than ever. This is not just Business Intelligence reports but good-old operationalreports which have been developed using BI tools for years.
This state of co-existence is now the new normal for BusinessObjects with customers retaining Web Intelligence and/or Crystal Reports for BI and operationalreporting while using Tableau/PowerBI for BI data discovery and visualization.

Thirty years ago, people were using BusinessObjects to quickly create operationalreports with drag and drop actions. The power of the semantic layer allowed them to use simple business terms and automatically generate the SQL so non-programmers could create their own reports.
This solution ensures data accuracy, reduces manual effort, and aligns transfer pricing with businessobjectives and market conditions. It provides a centralized platform for defining policies, monitoring performance, and adjusting pricing strategies.
