Today, undeniably, Business Intelligence (BI) has taken a key place in your enterprise. Be it a small or large company, reports, dashboards, metrics or cubes are used in almost every aspect of your business. We use them in order to monitor, steer and plan. They are important drivers of the business value we create and the new value we are constantly seeking for.

Business Semantics are the answers to the "what does it mean" and "where does it come from" questions we ask ourselves when using BI. What does an entity mean? Where does an entity fit into the process, into our company and... into the world. How is it linked? Where is it linked? Business Semantics provide context and help to increase relevance. The upcoming generation of the Web, the Semantic Web, provides a new breed of Semantic Technologies that help you to master data in all its forms.

Data, wherever it resides in your company, must be opened and made available for analysis, reporting, mining, etc. Unopened data is of no use and risks to be loss of money. The more you know your companies data, the more value you can create, the more competitive you will be.

Data should be open to as many users as possible and as allowed. A big variety of users assures different perspectives, different angles from which the data is looked at and maximizes the benefit of it. This implies next data "abilities" to be in place:

• Accessibility
• Availability
• Understandability
• Visibility
• Operability

This is what xplore+ stands for; this is our vision in a nutshell. We translate this vision into software and services. As a data integration and solutions company we focus on one of the major BI players, IBM Cognos. The toolset we provide makes it possible to open data outside the standard BI environments. BI mashups and integration are a key to success in achieving maximum return on investment of opening your companies data.

Based on this fundamental experience and knowledge, we combine services and software that help you in moving forward.
