Architecture & Planning

Innovent provides SAP Business Objects platform services to architect your Edge, XI R2, XI 3.0, Crystal Enterprise or Excelsius Enterprise systems in a scalable, extendable and secure fashion. We work with business users, subject matter experts and technical staff to identify and articulate requirements, evaluate your data architecture and technical environment and align the software tools with business-user needs for effective information delivery.

System Design, Development and Integration

This phase starts with a focus on integration: we want your business intelligence system to be integrated and accessible with your other systems. Our goal is to reuse assets from your existing systems where feasible, instead of starting from zero. Our deep experience with SAP Business Objects software gives us the ability to help your team move to an optimal solution, building an affordable system that can handle your current requirements but scales to meet future demand.

Working with products such as Web Intelligence, Crystal reports, Dashboard Builder, Xcelsius and Voyager, we can help ensure that information is designed to reach business users in a format appropriate for their needs. During the this process, our consultants will help to lead, and participate in, a coordinated report and analytics development process. Our experience has taught us many best practices that will save your team time and money as information assets are developed. Our focus is on team development where developers can share and re-use components giving your information assets greater consistency and maintainability.

System Implementation

The system implementation phase focuses on building an IT infrastructure that provides high scalability for users and data with an eye on future growth. We work with you to construct appropriate environments for development, system test, acceptance test and production, as well as ensure the processes and procedures for effective source control, system backup, recovery and high availability are addressed.
