The proven compatibility of the two product sets provides numerous benefits for users of Vectorwise. Given the widespread usage of SAP solutions within the enterprise market, the integration with Vectorwise is of major significance; two strong technologies are now united and represent an unbeatable solution for end-users for Actionable BI.

Furthermore, SAP BO can now be used seamlessly as a front-end BI application for the fastest and most affordable analytic database, thereby expanding the reach of Vectorwise in the BI and data warehousing market. In both cases, users of both Vectorwise and SAP BO get the best of both worlds.
