Object of honor for Business Objects

It isn’t Hollywood, California, but as far as business intelligence solution provider Business Objects staff is concerned, it was for a night. Business Objects recently announced that its on-demand business intelligence site crystalrepots.com had won the “Best in Show” Midsize Enterprise Innovation Award at the Midsize Enterprise Summit in Hollywood, Florida. Business Objects marketing held the product’s release until the summit and wowed the assembled senior IT executives well enough to take home the prize.

The site is designed as a secure network for mid-sized businesses exchanging data over the web. According to Business Objects press material, the award is recognition for “the most innovative solutions and the most integrated, high visibility promotional effort throughout the summit.” Business Objects mid-market business vice president Todd Rowe said, “The launch of crystalreports.com extends our market position in delivering BI solutions targeted specifically at the mid-market […] . We feel winning the Midsize Enterprise Innovation Award is a great achievement and is further proof that Business Objects continues to set the bar in the BI industry.” Business Objects is quick to add that crystalreports.com is but one in a range of business solutions, which includes Crystal Reports Server XI, a web-based packaged reporting solution.
