Gilman, senior director of product marketing, said in an interview that Hyperion System 9 "represents the first industry offering that brings planning, consolidation and scorecarding with a business intelligence platform, and does so with one user experience and one back-end infrastructure." Hyperion System 9 BI+ is the business intelligence component of Hyperion System 9, which was launched in October. Hyperion System 9, the company says, "is the most comprehensive performance management solution ever, and the first to integrate financial management applications with a BI platform into a modular system that will adapt to any business need." Users of Hyperion System 9 BI+ will benefit from the "dramatically simplified" workspace introduced in Hyperion System 9, which Hyperion says means that end users do not have to shuffle between multiple systems and technologies to get the answers to their business questions. It provides users with one, simple interface for financial, interactive and production reporting, as well as rich analytics, enterprise metrics metrics Managed care A popular term for standards by which the quality of a product, service, or outcome of a particular form of Pt management is evaluated.

Hyperion System 9 BI+ also leverages the Foundation Services layer of Hyperion System 9 that delivers common user provisioning The ability for customers to change voice and data services from their carriers online without having to place the order with a human representative.

The infrastructure enables technology organizations to build, deploy, scale and manage across all of its users, organizations and applications. Gilman says that virtually every large company has multiple BI systems--sometimes 20 or more--which Gartner Inc. refers to as "BI fragmentation (1) Storing data in non-contiguous areas on disk. As files are updated, new data are stored in available free space, which may not be contiguous. Fragmented files cause extra head movement, slowing disk accesses. A defragger program is used to rewrite and reorder all the files. ." With that, he says, users aren't getting the information they need, and "the reality is that the penetration rate is very low in terms of users getting benefits," with some studies showing that rate as low as 18 percent. "It's hard for 'mere mortals' like controllers" to do multitasking multitasking Mode of computer operation in which the computer works on multiple tasks at the same time. A task is a computer program (or part of a program) that can be run as a separate entity. to get all this information, Gilman quips, and it results in high costs of ownership for IT. Hyperion 9 BI+ "brings together a full spectrum of capabilities," he says, ranging from production reporting and financial reporting to dashboarding and analytics capability. In effect, he says, Hyperion has brought the capabilities of separate products into single system, yet customers can still opt to sign up for individual modules, such as the planning application or data warehouse.
