- The solutions in the ¡®Information Integration Layer¡¯ combine and analyze the data
received from the ¡®Enterprise Integration Core Layer¡¯ and provide more valuable
information and knowledge to the users. Each solution section has specific purposes
in analyzing and reporting data. Such specialization of data analysis dramatically

for implementation soon after the ERP system is set up.
- The components that execute the core functions of BOBJ¡¯s BI platform are as follows:
- Enterprise Query, Reporting and Analysis
- Data Integration and Data Quality Management
- Visualization and Reporting

support the system. The scattered data must also be quickly and efficiently collected in order
