Business Intelligence with SAP Business Objects 4.3

Distributed enviroments with Desktop Intelligence installed locally on PCs generate a very high cost of ownership for the companies: - Software licenses for third party software, for instance for database connectivity - Support and maintenance costs for installation of software upgrades, patches, new releases. (estimates run as high as $1000 per desktop per upgrade) - Local helpdesk requirements - Local language support for end-users. Besides the cost, there is the potential risk that companies have installed different versions of the software throughout the organization, with even different service pack levels.

Auditee refers to any system responsible for performing an event that is audited. While the audit database can exist as part of the system database, it is recommended that it be kept separate, to minimize the impact on system performance due to the constantly growing size of the database.
