Google OneBox for Enterprise

Hyperion, the global leader in business performance management software,
announced support for Google OneBox for Enterprise, a feature of the Google
Search Appliance. The new solution goes beyond the search integration offered by
other business intelligence (BI) vendors by providing customers with access not
only to BI-related dashboards, reports, metrics and other unstructured corporate
content, but also to financial applications-business content such as the
business rules, calculations, annotations and forms that enable BPM. All this
information is now available through a single Google-powered, integrated search
window.

One of the key differentiators of the Hyperion solution is its unique ability
to develop, not just report, answers to queries. A search using conventional BI
tools returns an answer to a query if that answer already exists in a report,
otherwise, the search produces only a list of reports with related content and
the user must sift through the material to locate information. The Google-powered
Hyperion solution will create an appropriate answer by searching the relevant
financial and operational data and automatically querying, calculating and
presenting the information in real time. The data can originate from a variety
of relational and multi-dimensional sources, such as Essbase and Enterprise
analytics, star schemas, SAP-BW and financial management applications.

In addition to receiving search results contained in inline answers to the
queries, the user can further refine the search query to get more detailed
results, a process akin to drilling down on reports or analytic dashboards. The
benefits are productivity gains and actionable answers to business questions
directly from the Google search result window.

The solution is accessible through the Hyperion System 9 Workspace, providing
a single point of entry to the various Hyperion System 9 modules across all
structured and unstructured content. A robust security model delivers only
relevant results, ensuring the integrity and confidentiality of the BPM
information. The support for search integration with Google OneBox for
Enterprise, will be generally available late CY2006.
