Benefits of bNavigator

bNavigator enables Business Intelligence projects to deliver on their promise - ensuring the "Right Information is delivered to the Right People". bNavigator will benefit the end-user as well as the project team and company implementing Business Intelligence.

For the Business Information End-user:

bNavigator provides the best possible user experience for navigating business information bringing the following benefits:

• Fast and Intuitive . bNavigator's explorer-style user interface with built-in search engine makes it quick and easy to find the right information.
• All Business Information in the One Place. Access SAP BW Data (Web Templates, Web Queries, BEx Analyser Workbooks) and SAP R/3 Data (Transactions & Reports) as well as other network based resources. Additional connectors are already under development.

For the Project Team implementing Business Intelligence:

bNavigator provides the fastest and simplest way to deploy targeted information within the Enterprise with the following benefits:

• Accelerated Design phase.
 Easily specify and visually communicate what and to whom you are delivering BI. bNavigator's taxonomy can be defined in advance of any SAP development.
• Improve quality.  bNavigator supports multiple regions or "clients" that can be established for development, testing and production deployment. Each client may be configured to access different SAP BI systems independently and comprise it's own taxonomy. Easily establish a QA client that verifies queries against production data before they are made generally available.
• Simplify your deployment of SAP ® BI. bNavigator is more easy to maintain than a webpage, and less complicated to implement and maintain the Enterprise Portal. A certified business package iView is available for Portal Users.
• Focus your Team.  bNavigator makes it easy to stage the releases of business information by User Community, Application Area or any other way that makes sense to your organisation.
• Save Project Time and Budget with more a efficient means of deploying Business Intelligence across the Enterprise
• Easy Installation.  Installs on any J2EE server in less than an hour. User access via a browser requires no client to be installed on the desktop.
• No knowledge of HTML or Java programming is required. Most elements of bNavigator, such as Communities, Report Group and Categories, related systems and links are configurable. Changing these elements takes seconds.

For the Corporation or Government Body:

bNavigator aims to bring improved decision-making to the Enterprise by delivering the following benefits:

• Increase the utilisation of data warehouse. Engage your users with an intuitive front-end interface to all relevant business information.
• Future-proof.  bNavigator can be installed immediately as a stand-alone product that runs off any J2EE server (such as SAPs Web Application Server that is included with SAP BW 3.0+). bNavigator functionality also complements that of that SAP Entelrpise Portal.
