Business Objects Expands Mid-Market Solutions

Business Objects, the provider of business intelligence (BI) solutions, launched Business Objects Crystal Decisions, a new business intelligence product line for mid-size companies and expanded partner opportunities in this area. Now growing companies will have easier access to affordable business intelligence solutions that will help them improve processes, discover new opportunities, and gain a competitive edge.

"Large organizations have reaped significant benefits from business intelligence deployments over the last decade and, as it happens with many technologies, demand for these solutions is growing among companies of all sizes," said Robert Anderson, research VP for small and mid-size businesses at Gartner. "We expect to see mid-market companies increasing their adoption of BI, as vendors offer more targeted products that are tailored for organizations with fewer IT resources and smaller budgets."
