The 7th Annual eWEEK Excellence Awards: The Winners

CATEGORY: ANALYTICS & REPORTING

WINNER

Skytide

In a modern business, information tends to be everywhere—perhaps in a product delivered in a SAAS (Software as a Service) model, in Web services or even Web 2.0 applications such as blogs and wikis.

But in an old-school business intelligence model, in which companies rely on clean information in controlled databases, this disparately-located data might as well have been invisible.

Thats why eWEEKs Excellence Awards judges were impressed with the Skytide Analytical Platform 2.0, which solves this exact problem. The Skytide Analytical Platform 2.0 is specifically designed to bring real-time, high-level business analytics capabilities to a modern Enterprise 2.0- type business that doesnt have the luxury of having all its important data in a nice, clean-structured configuration.

FINALISTS

Business Objects

Crystalreports.com 1.0

When it comes to business analytics and reporting, most people instantly think of Crystal Reports, a name synonymous with this product category. But for many analysts, especially in small businesses, data from Crystal Reports tends to live on an isolated island.

With the launch of Crystalreports.com 1.0, Business Objects has made it much easier for businesses to share and collaborate on business reports.

Noetix

Noetix Enterprise Technology Suite 5.5

In the world of business analytics, two common sayings, "information is power" and "time is money" are often at odds with each other. Thats because with traditional tools it can often take a lot of time to get that powerful information.

The focus of the Noetix Enterprise Technology Suite 5.5 is to help businesses quickly build metadata from their core businesses systems and then let users quickly generate reports from that data.
