	(1) Software Manufacturers and Embedded BI: the Build Vs. Buy Question Are you a software manufacturer or OEM looking to embed business intelligence (BI)? Do you build your BI module or buy it? Don't make the wrong decision without knowing the factors that will affect your ROI and competitiveness!

	(2) Business Intelligence for Small and Mid-sized Businesses If you are a decision maker in a small or mid-sized company, you may be evaluating the need to implement business intelligence (BI) in your organization. But considerations about cost, IT resources and implementation times are intimidating you. This paper dispels some myths about BI in smaller companies and outlines the main options at your disposal.

	(3) 12 Essential Business Intelligence Features that Deliver Immediate Value to your Applications Reporting and analysis features make your business applications more intelligent, more robust, more usable and ultimately more valuable to you and your end users. In addition to typical reporting capabilities, LogiXML's powerful BI features like dashboards, interactive analysis, structured search, heat maps, ad hoc reporting, animated charts, and MS Excel-based reporting enhance your application's offerings. This paper describes the far-reaching value that LogiXML's BI reporting and analysis features can quickly bring to your business applications. You should read this paper if you are an ISV, OEM Partner, ASP, SaaS Provider or Application Developer and you want to add more power and overall impact to your business applications.

	(4) Dashboards: the New Face of BI? In this white paper, noted BI analyst Gabriel Fuchs outlines the best-practice standards of Dashboard implementation. Dashboards can be a powerful tool for reporting, analysis and even forecasting. However, they must be implemented correctly, and must be business-driven rather than user- or technology-driven. Learn about how, by avoiding some common pitfalls in its implementation, a Dashboard can truly help a company fulfill its potential.

	(5) The Next Generation of Business Intelligence The term Business Intelligence 2.0 (BI 2.0) is cropping up more and more in the industry, generally referring to the next generation of BI just as Web 2.0 has come to refer to the next generation of the Web. The focus, like Web 2.0, is on people, empowering users to express their creativity, allowing them to freely access information and produce something meaningful from it while focusing on information sharing, communication, and collaboration.

	(6) Ad Hoc Reporting: Self-service, Personalized Reporting for any Business User This paper explains why ad hoc reporting has become a critical component of the BI environment and how easy it is to make this type of analysis possible for the everyday business user. It describes ad hoc reporting in detail as well as the benefits. It also provides a case study, which describes a real-world example of how the New York City Health Department makes reporting easy for their users, while eliminating the backlog of report requests for IT.

	(7) Mashups and Pervasive BI This white paper discusses how the two main kinds of mashups-overlay mashups and dashboards-are among the several BI 2.0 innovations that help spread business intelligence wider and deeper across organizations. Read about how this concept, known as 'pervasive BI', hinges on offering end users features and applications that blend with-and navigate like-the familiar Web browser.

	(8) Increase Productivity and Lower Costs by Implementing a Unified Business Intelligency Platform LogiXML’s Unified BI platform products meet the wide range of reporting needs across your organization through managed reporting, OLAP analysis, and ad hoc queries. The LogiXML Unified BI Platform is designed from the ground up on a single technological infrastructure, leveraging all the far-reaching interoperability benefits of this Web-ased, open industry standard.

	(9) How Web-based Is A Web-based Smart Client Smart client applications came about to bridge the gap between Web applications and desktop applications. They provide some of the benefits of a Web application (such as leveraging access to the Internet and offering remote access to data) while still providing an advanced desktop look-and-feel.

	(10) Analysis Options in Business Intelligence: It's Not Just About OLAP The current trend in Business Intelligence (BI) is to make reporting and analysis features available to the masses of users across the organization. BI is also becoming more critical to small to mid-sized businesses. Today’s organizations need solutions that are scalable, affordable, easy to rollout and to maintain. Traditional approaches to analysis via Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) just do not fit this bill. The cost, complexity and lengthy implementation times of OLAP architectures prohibit wide and immediate availability.

	(11) Scaling Up Your Reporting With Logi Intelligence Server Business users want easy access to the organizational information they need for analysis and reporting. Generally, if your organization produces many reports, your reports should not connect to your transactional databases. This is because transactional databases are not optimized for reporting and would take a significant performance hit.

	(12) Market Report Independent Intellegence: Adopting Business Intelligence Without Adopting A Vendor-controlled Stack Independent consulting firm QueryVision finds that LogiXML provides best in class features and capabilities among BI vendors reviewed in this study. LogiXML is the BI firm providing “best in class features and capabilities and the most effective approach to customization through support of the open platform model,” according to a report released in February by independent consulting firm QueryVision.

	(13) Elemental Development LogiXML, Inc. has developed a unique and innovative paradigm for report application development — a concept that we have termed Elemental Development (ED). Implementing an ED-centered environment is based on an extremely high level, re-usable XML-based language that fits specific business intelligence needs. And, this XML-based language can be thought of as a dictionary for application development.
