Consumer Technology Makes Business More Intelligent


The LogiXML platform sports new capabilities derived from the consumer Web

By David Worthington
October 5, 2007 — 
Innovations from consumer technology are constantly surfacing in the enterprise; after all, many companies got their first PC out of an executive’s trunk when IT wasn’t looking. Technology that was once primarily used to comb the Web for a new set of golf clubs or to create widgets for MySpace profiles is now augmenting business intelligence (BI) software.

LogiXML on Tuesday released Logi 8 BI Platform Version 8.2, adding enterprise search capabilities via the new Logi Intelligence Server, and including new tools for developers to produce Web 2.0-style visualizations.

The Logi security model governs the enterprise search feature; server administrators maintain full control over the data and set users’ permissions. The Logi Ad Hoc user interface now provides internationalization support, for customizing UIs that must be translated into other languages. Customers set up and maintain their own servers, said Rachel Shortt, director of product marketing at LogiXML.

The Logi Intelligence Server enables enterprise search and offers historical data analysis capabilities that LogiXML has dubbed "Time Machine."

Logi 8 BI’s new Time Machine creates trend reports by taking repeated snapshots of data on a scheduled basis for comparison. Organizations can also set automated alerts and processes for exemptions in the data.

Also new in the update to Logi 8 BI is Logi Web Studio, a browser-based report studio that the company claims allows more flexible reporting and better support for non-Windows platforms. This release also adds new reporting features that create visualizations in the form of Text Clouds, a depiction of the relative weighting of links, phrases and words by font size and color.

Shortt said that the company is going to add more functionality around the server for more advanced analytical calculations. It is also developing a Java version of Logi BI. The next major release of the platform is slated for January.
