Panorama integrates NovaView with SaaS apps


By David Worthington
September 1, 2008 — 
The allure of cloud computing has enticed a business intelligence software maker to port its flagship product to the Web, offering its customers both on-premise software and a service.

Panorama’s NovaView 5.5 lets customers maintain their data warehouse on premises while using an online version of the NovaView application suite for analytics and collaboration.

The SaaS offering has the same feature set as the boxed version, but is differentiated by its collaborative capabilities. It also has a tool for creating custom mashups out of corporate data and public data hosted elsewhere on the Web.

The on-premise and SaaS versions of Panorama are integrated by PowerApps, the company’s Web-based OLAP (online analytical processing) platform, and work as a hybrid solution. Users publish reports from the on-premise software to the SaaS version, and PowerApps facilitates the process.

From the end user’s perspective, new collaborative features are added to the Panorama reporting tool after a report has been replicated from the on-premise installation into the cloud, explained Oudi Antebi, vice president of strategy and marketing at Panorama.

A customized version of Google Docs, which Panorama hosts, provides for real-time collaboration on reports, said Antebi. Users can subscribe to changes, exemptions and key performance indicators through an RSS feed.

In the future, NovaView will be even more Web oriented. Panorama is building adapters for NovaView to integrate with other SaaS applications, such as Salesforce.com. PowerApps can extract data from services and pull it into an OLAP cube data structure for analysis.
