Elixir Technology is proud to announce the launch of Elixir Repertoire version 7.0, pioneering the use of RESTful architectural approach for Business Intelligence. With this release, Elixir is leading the industry with an open Business Intelligence server that easily integrates with prevailing technologies such as Java and .NET for building web or standalone applications, as well as emerging "Web 2.0" technologies such as AJAX, Flex2, and Ruby for building Rich Internet Applications.

"This is a major milestone in our product road map with the introduction of RESTful SOA for unprecedented ease of integration and open interoperability," said Mr Lau Shih Hor, Managing Director of Elixir Technology. "We opted for a more lightweight REST interface to make Business Intelligence on Web Services a practical reality, resulting in greater competitive advantages to our customers and partners."

Easier to deploy and use than before, Repertoire 7 now has just 1 unified designer for the end to-end Business Intelligence functionality it provides, ie Dashboard, Reporting, Data ETL, and Scheduling. Users can still license these "layers" separately by purchasing the respective keys to enable the required features.

For Dashboard users, the new Designer has been significantly enhanced to produce impactful dashboard views and contents with more decorative layout control such as customizable borders. Deploying the dashboard to the new built-in Web Application is effortless and instantaneous, with the new Remote Designer that can be deployed completely over the web to enable any power users or developers to make instant updates to their templates. Even the Remote Designer makes full use of the REST APIs for remote processing at the server side.

Everyone from end users to administrators can now access the dashboard, reports, data retrievals, or scheduled jobs over the web. Backed by a user/role access security model supporting secured transmission over HTTPS, companies can now safely and effectively empower every corporate users with self-serviced Business Intelligence functions for greater enterprise agility.

At a market-leading price performance level, Elixir Repertoire is licensed for unlimited user access, and only those who need to modify templates will need individual licenses. Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) looking to offer Business Intelligence functionality to add value and differentiate their solutions will find a highly attractive OEM package starting at 50% off the retail price with no minimum upfront commitment.

Elixir Repertoire version 7.0 is immediately available with free trial of a time-limited but otherwise full-featured version.
