System Structure Analysis
Is your SAP BusinessObjects system's structure optimal? Is it ready to meet new line-of-business challenges? Before you can optimize your system's performance, develop new line-of-business applications, or migrate to a newer version, you need a full understanding of what you have and how the system is used.
APOS Insight helps with:
- Complete inventory of system objects, instances, schedules, users
- Enhanced usage and activity analysis
- System metadata and structure analysis
- Enriched, integrated reporting with BO Audit data
- Enhanced security auditing

System Performance Analytics
APOS Insight gives you detailed snapshots of your system's processes, which you can use analyze and tune performance.
APOS Insight helps with:
- Usage trend/pattern analysis
- Identification of inefficiencies & bottlenecks
- Process & service performance tracking
- Instance schedule failure tracking and alerts
System Planning
Your organization doesn't stand still. Neither can your business intelligence system. Use APOS Insight to plan for growth and prepare for migration.
APOS Insight helps with:
- "What-if" impact analysis
- Content structure and usage analysis
- Report design analysis
- Universe structure and connectivity analysis
- Pre-migration planning
- Post-migration auditing and validation
Deep System Introspection
APOS Insight provides deep system introspection for SAP BusinessObjects through:
- Enhanced audit and metadata management
Insight runs a set of services in parallel to deliver a snapshot, or slice in time, of your system, enabling you to analyze components comparatively over time.
- Proactive system tracking and alerts
Insight uses statistics and functionality tests specific to SAP BusinessObjects to verify that services are not only running, but running according to specifications. You can extract metadata about your system's operational activities for offline analysis, and analyze historical data to anticipate future needs.
- Blanket instance monitoring
Use Insight to develop a detailed configuration strategy for a blanket monitoring and notification system. In such a strategy, someone in IT is notified of instance failure on a report-by report basis, but an administrator also receives a digest of failed instances.
APOS Insight helps administrators and platform managers manage proactively and react quickly to events and issues that threaten the quality and timeliness of SAP BusinessObjects system performance.
Achieving Preventive BI with APOS Insight
Insight's monitoring and auditing capabilities provide a "slice in time" or snapshot view of what is happening in your system, showing you not just which reports have run, but the parameters used to run them. You see all the valuable information you need to safeguard the integrity of your BI system through preventive actions.
APOS Insight gives you the functionality you need for deep SAP BusinessObjects system introspection so that you can achieve preventive BI today and plan progressively for tomorrow
