Toronto, ON (April 05, 2006) –

Panorama Software, the original developers of the OLAP technology that was sold to Microsoft Corp. and a global leader in business intelligence (BI) solutions, today unveiled its plans for the integration of its flagship BI solution, Panorama NovaView, with SAP Business Information Warehouse (SAP BW) during a special briefing with several of Panorama’s key enterprise customers. SAP BW is the core component of SAP Business Intelligence, itself a component of the SAP NetWeaver(TM) platform. This integration enables SAP BW customers for the first time, to truly leverage their SAP data for decision making and performance management across the enterprise through intuitive reports, powerful analysis tools, scorecards and dashboards.

The support for SAP BW is part of an overall strategic mission by Panorama to deliver the market’s most complete and integrated set of BI solutions for SAP BW and Microsoft platforms. “The message from our customers that use SAP is clear — provide powerful BI solutions that are scaleable, easy to use and do not require replicating or moving data out of SAP,” said Eynav Azarya, CEO, Panorama Software. “Our integration with SAP BW provides companies with a far superior BI solution to what is currently available in the market today.”

By leveraging customers’ existing SAP investments, companies can standardize on a single BI platform with Panorama NovaView. Panorama NovaView integrates analytics, reporting, scorecards and performance dashboards into a single comprehensive BI solution. More specifically, NovaView for SAP BW will enable information workers for the first time to easily author reports, share performance results and analyze data directly from SAP BW without relying on analysts or IT services. By extending its proven BI capabilities, Panorama proactively provides SAP customers relevant and accurate information they need to make better business decisions at every level of the enterprise.
