Tidal Software, a leading provider of application scheduling and performance management software, today announced that the Tidal Enterprise Scheduler Adapter version 5.3 has been certified by SAP as the interface between Tidal Enterprise Scheduler and the SAP® BusinessObjects™ XI solutions and SAP BusinessObjects Data Services based on the SAP BusinessObjects XI SDK. Users can define, launch, and monitor tasks within an SAP BusinessObjects solution-based environment using the Tidal solution.
The SAP Integration and Certification Center has certified the integration between the Tidal Enterprise Scheduler and the SAP Business Objects XI and Data Services API. With SAP BusinessObjects solutions, companies can establish an intelligence platform that provides immediate access to trusted business information.
“Without effective process automation, data does not arrive at the right place at the right time,” said Wayne Greene, Tidal’s vice president of product management. “With too many ‘moving parts,’ data pathways can break, and poor visibility can make it difficult to see where bottlenecks exist. In addition, when process integration between ETL and reporting functionality is less than optimal, business operations can be negatively impacted.”
Tidal, an SAP software solution partner, is a member of the SAP PartnerEdge™ program. Through the program, partners work closely with SAP to develop and certify the technical integration of their solutions with SAP software. Integrated partner applications extend, complement and add value to SAP solutions, thereby helping mutual customers more successfully meet business needs and drive strong results. Tidal is one of the only scheduler vendors offering a unique approach to integrate its scheduling software with SAP BusinessObjects XI.
Features of Tidal Enterprise Adapter include the following:
- Supports cross-application, cross-platform job dependencies, enabling integration of SAPBusinessObjects XI, SAP BusinessObjects Data Services, SAP BusinessObjects WebIntelligence® software, and Crystal Report® software with all other data flows
- Offers a single point-of-control for companywide job scheduling through a Windows or web console
- Leverages existing technology and investment in SAP BusinessObjects solutions for a complete enterprise solution
- Delivers industry-leading scheduling functionality, including GUI job definition and seamless handling of events, dependencies, resources, calendars, and output
- Provides exception-based management, scalability, role-based security, and enhanced manageability
- Eliminates scripting or command lines, dramatically reducing maintenance requirements and increasing ROI
Today’s announcement was made at SAPPHIRE® 2009, being held here May 11-14, where TidalSoftware is exhibiting in booth 557.
