While the user interface is a relatively small component of the Business Intelligence platform, it is an essential one. Unless the front-door to your warehouse attracts and engages your user base, there is a significant risk that the system will be under-utilised and the anticipated benefits will not be realised. The Enterprise Portal provides the platform (not the content or the user interface) for engaging your users. Adding the bNavigator Business Package to your Enterprise Portal provides everything you need to deploy business information quickly and effectively across the Enterprise.
