Re: OpenERP and Business Intelligence

 

Hi Fabien:

I have just done what you recomend and have been playing little bit with
opportunities. I like it. I think it's much more powerfull than reports on
previous versions and it has got capabilites to cover the needs of most of
companies but ... a single doubt.
Usually BI systems are used to compare data between different objects. For
instance, comparing sales-purchases prices for products, projects. Rotating
products or mixing manufacturing with projects or accountancy.
Would it be possible defining cubes mixing different OpenRP objects?
Defining common and agregate fields to build cubes or stars as usually is
done on any BI system. If yes...  I think that any integration would not be
necesary otherwise, it will still be necesary for several companies.

Thank you:
Ana
