Nobilis Ci Enterprise to Integrate with Hyperion Essbase

Nobilis, the pioneering provider of the Nobilis ProcessWriter for business users, announced that it had reached a partnership agreement with Hyperion Solutions, a leading Business Intelligence vendor, to integrate its business process automation platform, Nobilis Ci Enterprise, to Hyperion Essbase and its OLAP Server Business Analysis technology. The integration will enable business users to use Nobilis to automate business activities based on analytical conditions in Hyperion Essbase and use Hyperion Essbase to run process analytics against Nobilis processes.

In integrating with Hyperion Essbase, Nobilis will empower business users to define and manage business processes to be executed upon user-defined data conditions in Hyperion Essbase. The Nobilis Ci Process Agent will automatically initiate actions when data conditions within Hyperion Essbase meet specified requirements - providing applications to the appropriate people and data to the appropriate systems, so actions are taken to immediately respond to business issues or opportunities.

Integrating with Hyperion Essbase will also enable Nobilis Ci users to more easily produce analytics for process refinement. Once a process is deployed within the Nobilis Ci system, Hyperion Essbase will capture and aggregate the required metrics to analyze process improvement. As business users determine the manner in which processes can be improved, the Nobilis ProcessWriter will enable them to make those changes simply and easily. Having the ProcessWriter and Hyperion Essbase analytics at the desktop will enable business users to continually refine their processes to meet changing business conditions.

Jim Maniscalco, Nobilis president and CEO, said, "We are very excited about our partnership with Hyperion and integrating our product with Hyperion Essbase, the global standard OLAP software solution for BI. The Nobilis ProcessWriter provides a compelling tool for business users to process enable OLAP. Likewise, the ability for our users to use Hyperion Essbase for process analytics will provide them significant value in constantly refining and improving their processes."
