Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – May 5, 2008

Planetsky Solutions and its partner business objects, the world’s leading provider of business intelligence (BI) solutions, today announced for the first time in the Middle East BusinessObjects™ XI 3.0.  A single, enterprise-scale platform, BusinessObjects XI 3.0 breaks the barriers of traditional business intelligence (BI), helping to ensure that all people connected with an organization can have access to the information they need to make a difference. Information makes employees more productive, partners and suppliers more effective, and customers happier and more loyal. BusinessObjects XI 3.0 allows organizations to harness this performance advantage.

BusinessObjects XI 3.0 is the first and only BI platform with integrated text analysis, allowing the thoughts and opinions of customers and other people found in unstructured sources such as the Web, notes fields and emails to be easily incorporated into business intelligence and decision making. BusinessObjects XI 3.0 also provides the first platform that delivers BI-ready consumable external information on demand, from the de facto leader in software-as-a-service (SaaS) BI. For example, by using BusinessObjects XI 3.0-ready reports and metrics from sources such as Thomson Financial and Dun & Bradstreet, organizations can compare and track key performance metrics against their direct competitors and the overall market.

 “We’re proud to have BO onboard to launch business XI 3.0 in Saudi Arabia, by organizing this event BO demonstrates it’s commitment to the region” said Hayssam El Masri President of Planetsky Solutions. “BusinessObjects XI 3.0 will bring new insights and improved decision making to organizations; hence employees should always be connected to powerful BI capabilities wherever and whenever they need them.”
