Business Objects, a provider of business intelligence solutions, has released the Business Objects EPM Performance Suite designed to deliver enhancements to its enterprise performance management (EPM) product portfolio. EPM Performance Suite includes the integration of ALG Software onto the Business Objects XI platform, the introduction of financial performance analytics, and new visualization and data integration capabilities in planning.

The Business Objects EPM Performance Suite comes with integrated cost and profitability applications that were acquired from ALG Software in October 2006. The integration puts the information and insight gained from the industry's leading profitability applications into the Business Objects XI platform. This will allow Business Objects customers to put profitability information in the hands of managers so they are armed with the information they need to impact the bottom line.

"To meet customer expectations for an integrated suite of performance management applications, we set aggressive integration milestones and delivered the EPM Performance Suite at an accelerated pace," says Anthony Reynolds, vice president of EPM at Business Objects. "This release demonstrates our commitment to be the leading performance management vendor to our customers and the marketplace."
