Companies today have a plethora of information available from disparate sources. Even if 
useful data is available, often you’re too overwhelmed to find it, and IT is too busy to deliver. 

Xcelsius® Engage 2008 from Business Objects, an SAP company, transforms any type of data 
into insightful dashboards that enable decision-makers to monitor business performance, 
identify critical data relationships, and use what-if scenarios to understand potential 
performance. You can consolidate multiple reports and data from various locations into a 
single dashboard – giving you a holistic view of your company’s data. 

With Xcelsius Engage, you can view 
company data in an easy-to-understand 
format and make informed decisions. 
Interactive sliders enable you to perform 
extemporaneous what-if analysis by 
adjusting the underlying data and 
immediately seeing the impact of your 
decisions. Built-in alerting and trending 
allow you to easily spot trends, patterns, 
and areas for concern. Plus, other 
advanced visual components, such as 
gauges and drill-down charts, allow even 

the least technically savvy user to be a data analysis hero.
