1 BI on BI: Explore and analyze Business Objects metadata

2 Audit and control your metadata over time and across versions Optimize your migration projects Control your platforms over time Unlimited metadata analysis

3 Optimize your migration projects

4 Optimize your migration projects Document and audit your platforms in order to prepare migrations Perform metadata cross-analysis: detect unused documents and universes, dormant or inactive users and duplicate reports Clean your platforms to migrate relevant content only Analyze and optimize report structures before conversion Analyze and clean UNV universes before converting them to UNX Compare several environments and versions throughout migration: platform comparison before, during and after a migration project Monitor user activity and session peaks to define licensing needs (CSBL) and named users Perform impact analysis on documents before deploying a service pack or update (new calculation engine, object or table change)

5 Control your platforms over time

6 Control your platforms over time Document the content of your entire platform: documents, universes, auditor data and security data Track the evolution of your platforms by retaining snapshots of existing metadata Monitor universe evolution and perform continuous optimization Monitor the evolution of your report portfolio, spot unused reports as well as similar and duplicate reports Compare environments over time and monitor changes (universes, documents, security) Perform BO actions on BO data: auditing, cross-analysis, predictive analysis, comparisons over time Analyze user activity and audit data: spot inactive users to manage software licenses

7 Unlimited metadata analysis

8 Unlimited metadata analysis 360Eyes includes universes and a set of 40 preset Webi reports, allowing unlimited data analysis on all your environments Create your own custom reports gathering available universe data Control and manage report changes with the impact analysis feature (universe objects, database changes, BW, ETL, Data Services changes)

9 Key benefits Audit and clean your deployments Compare environments and CMS Document everything. Perform impact analysis Keep control over your BOE deployment Be more efficient and focus on high valueadded tasks Carry out your migration projects

10 Track unused reports: cleaning

11 Track dormant users: recycle licenses

12 Track unused universe objects: clean universes

13 Avoid side effects: proactive impact analysis

14 Track unused objects and variables: clean reports

15 Track duplicated reports: clean your deployment

16 Identify similar reports: clean your deployment

17 Document scheduled jobs

18 Change Management Control: Compare BO versions

19 Predictive analysis: follow through time the evolution

20 Sessions: find out or follow CSBL/license usage

21 Security matrix: display who can access what (n*m)

22 Use case Impact Analysis for calculation engine changes The behavior of the RunningSum function has changed since BI4.1 compare to BI4.0 (aggregations were different). Impact analysis was run on this function to find out that 25% of reports were using this very function. Then, using query stripping, this rate was reduced to 20%. Qualifying those reports would have been too demanding (workload, required time). The upgrade was postponed.
