Rich, engaging data visualization made easy
SAP BusinessObjects Xcelsius software is designed for transforming business data into rich, interactive dashboards and data presentations — without programming. It leverages the power of the Adobe® Flash® Platform for point-and-click creation of interactive, data-driven content.
Why the Flash Platform worked
- The Flash Platform offers a broad range of technologies to support Xcelsius, including Adobe Flex® Builder™, Adobe Flash Player, and Adobe AIR®.
- Adobe Flex Builder and the Flex framework facilitated rapid, iterative development of rich, expressive data visualizations.
- Integration with Adobe LiveCycle® Data Services accelerates the linking of visual interfaces to data sources without extensive coding.
- The ubiquity of Flash Player ensures the application is accessible to the broadest possible audience.
