Announcing Viador 8.0
We are pleased to announce the GA release of the Viador Business Intelligence Suite, Viador 8.0 (V8). This release brings unparalleled speed to the process of transforming operational data for discovery, analysis, report development and secure distribution.
Our tools enable you to apply intelligence to critical business decisions. Viador8 continues the tradition of providing a lightweight JAVA package that is relatively easy to install and deploy. This means you can get V8 up and running in the same day.
Viador provides many views into your data. Our Report Designer tool is a SQL-viewer, that enables you too extract data exactly the way it is defined in your relational data sources. Our OLAP Deisgner is a cube-viewer, that enables you to ineteract with the dimensions, members and measures defined in your multi-dimensional data sources. Our Information Designer empowers you to create a universal view of a data source that can be accessed from our Easy Reporter tool for ad-hoc analysis by business users.
We specialize in interactive reports, such as drill-down tables and charts that give users the opportunity to explore and discover. Our cube builder creates dimensional data from relational data sources, and can be used for interactive charts. Once a cube is saved as a snapshot, it can be defined as an OLAP data source, and accessed from our OLAP Designer tool mulit-dimensional, pivot-table like analysis in table or chart format.
V8 is a significant upgrade, based on the integration of Tomcat as a new servlet engine. The V8 Support Matrix has been updated to support the most recent databases, Ora10g/11i and MS SQL Server 2005/2008, and expanded to include a new operating system, RedHat Linux (RHEL 5), in addition to Windows 203/2008 and Solaris 10.
V8 incorporates many new features, including the following:
-
BI Explorer (BIE), for fast access to reports,
-
Integration of Apache/Lucene Search engine,
-
Form Generator to produces JSP forms to prompt users at run-time for parameters,
-
ReportBook for grouping multiple reports for printing and distribution
-
We also have two new web applications, packaged as stand-alone components that deploy under Tomcat or Websphere, including:
-
Analyzer, a new, DHTML-based OLAP analysis tool
-
ReportWizard, a new SQL reporting tool
For the hundreds of existing customers who want backward compatibility, V8 is available as an upgrade.
