Today SAP released a new business intelligence (BI) application for the iPad on Apple iTunes, SAP BusinessObjects Mobile BI application for iPad. This application allows users to access their favorite BusinessObjects BI content from their iPad. The ability to run smarter “anywhere” is about making informed decisions with instant access to targeted, personalized information wherever you are – in the board room, at a customer site, or on the shop floor. SAP BusinessObjects Mobile provides instant access to business intelligence (BI) reports, metrics, and right-time information. You can intuitively access, navigate, and analyze information without a need for additional training. If you are already familiar with SAP BusinessObjects, you can leverage the BI content you work with everyday on your desktop. With SAP BusinessObjects Mobile BI for iPad, management and information workers can stay up-to-date and make decisions using the latest information. Sales and field service staff can provide the right customer, product, and work order information where and when it’s needed – helping shorten sales cycles and increase customer satisfaction.
Key features for the new Mobile BI ipad app:
- Access your existing business intelligence content from your iPad instantly
- Interact with stunning new visualizations
- Analyze key metrics and discover data trends
- Work seamlessly while connected and disconnected

Hi everybody,
as described in the “SAP BusinessObjects Mobile Installation and Deployment Guide” (https://websmp208.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/012006153200000273542011E/Mobile_Install_and_Deploy_Guide.pdf) we would like to install the “Mobile Server”. So, I am searching for “MobileBIService.war”…
Obviously it is NOT part of BOXI 3.1 SP4 (which I just installed) and BOXI 4.0 SP2 is not released yet.
So, what shall we do if we want to see more than the three offline examples on the iPad?!?
Thanks & regards,
Michael

Hi everybody,
is there a chance to get existing data (out of a BI-Report) into the mobile application on the ipad? The data is saved in an excel-file.
Unfortunately we do no have a available Test-server to get connected with the iPad.
Thanks
