Business Objectsand Adobe have formed
a technology partnership to deliver more intuitivebusiness intelligencesystems to
users.
One of the key initiatives in the partnership is the development
of a
Business Objects Xcelsius Connector to Adobe Livecycle Data
Services ES.
Livecycle Data Services, a component of Adobe Livecycle
Enterprise Suite software, provides data remote working, messaging,
and data management capabilities to help developers more
efficiently integrate rich internet applications (RIAs) with
existing applications, back-end data, and J2EE infrastructure.
The Connector will allow Xcelsius users to use Livecycle Data
Services to stream real-time data into Xcelsius interactive
dashboards, animated charts and graphs, financial presentations, or
business calculators, delivering meaningful information in a
visually engaging way, said the partners.
Under the agreement, Adobe Livecycle Data Services ES Connector
for Xcelsius is expected to be available as a Business Objects
bundled product in the first quarter of next year. The availability
of further joint offerings from the two companies will be announced
in the first half of 2008.
