Winter Education Offerings in the Sun with InfoSol

The cold weather is coming and with it maybe snow, icy roads, frozen door locks and all those other wonderful joys of the season. But not for InfoSol's Business Objects Education Center in Phoenix, Arizona, where the sun still shines throughout the winter and the temperatures average around 70° F.

This is one of the reasons that InfoSol's public training classes always fill up quickly for the months of January, February and March. In addition to the warm weather, there are the attractions of the Spring Cactus Baseball League, the Phoenix Open and the 2008 Super Bowl. InfoSol has scheduled a comprehensive set of BusinessObjects and Crystal classes through this period and is preparing to add extra classes in order to meet the expected increased demand.

The InfoSol Training Center is conveniently located in North Phoenix, close to major highways and within 30 minutes of the airport. The center includes a student lounge and a separate Cyber Cafe for keeping up-to-date with your e-mail.

All InfoSol instructors are certified by Business Objects and are experienced BusinessObjects or Crystal Consultants. InfoSol offers a complete satisfaction guarantee with the option for any attendee to either re-take the course for free or receive a refund it they are not satisfied.

InfoSol will also assist attendees coming from out-of-state with hotel accommodations, car rentals and we can even put complete travel packages together to make your Phoenix training experience as effortless as possible.

Phoenix Systems to Bundle InfoBurst-XDS in its Offering

InfoBurst-XDS and Xcelsius Dashboards will be integrated with the SYSPRO ERP software package to provide a very robust business solution that gives companies, in a variety of industries, dynamic interaction and visualization of sales analytics, marketing, financial data and trending details.

By combining the amazing dashboard capabilities of Xcelsius with the innovative refresh scheduling, distribution and publishing of InfoBurst-XDS, Phoenix Systems is making available the ultimate solution for delivering effective data visualization solutions to its customers in the Manufacturing, Distribution and Independent Grocer Markets. “The opportunity to partner with InfoSol and utilize InfoBurst is going to dramatically improve the visibility of the key data elements residing in our current data base, thus providing our firm with a competitive edge,” said Dan O’Toole, President of Phoenix Systems.

InfoBurst-XDS provides fully automated event and time based scheduling of ranges of data retrieved from any commodity database via a BusinessObjects / Web Intelligence query or through a SQL stored procedure. It automatically converts the data to XML and provides further formatting capabilities, so that it can be utilized directly in any analytic in an Xcelsius dashboard. It also provides automatic scheduling and distribution of Xcelsius dashboards.

InfoSol Demonstrations Dazzle at Insight Americas and Asia Pacific

For those who attended the Partner Showcase at either Insight Americas in Orlando or Insight Asia Pacific in Sydney, Australia, you would have noticed a constant crowd and buzz around the InfoSol booths. Yes, it's true we were giving away great chocolates and raffling off i-pod nano's, but it was the dazzling demos going on that were the real magnet.

InfoSol highlighted its powerful and unique capability for automatically refreshing and distributing dashboards through InfoBurst-XDS. As more customers start to use dashboards as a primary interface for visualizing their data, as well as viewing key business metrics, InfoBurst-XDS has become an effective solution providing event driven refresh and scalable performance.

Demonstrations of InfoBurst for BusinessObjects, WebIntelligence and Crystal report bursting and distribution and Version Manager for version control for universes and reports were also very popular and in demand.

With so much activity at the InfoSol booths, unfortunately not all attendees were able to see all the demonstrations, but InfoSol offers free, dedicated web casts for all its solutions.

Ask the Expert - Your Business Intelligence Questions Answered

BusinessObjects Q&A

QUESTION:
I have a multitab report, but I only want to print a specific tab. Is there a way to do this?

ANSWER:
When printing a Deski report in InfoView, you need to go to VIEW > PDF Mode, if you have a document with multiple tabs, all the tabs will be exported to PDF.

Crystal Reports Q&A

QUESTION:
How do I show all the group headers when drilling down on my report?

ANSWER:
When you choose to HIDE details or certain groups on a Crystal Report, once you navigate to the details or hidden groups, a new tab opens and you no longer see your group headers. Instead, the group headers become the names of the tabs.
