26. SLIDE 26BUSINESS OBJECTS CONFIDENTIAL.COPYRIGHT © 2008 BUSINESS OBJECTS S.A. OVERCOME OBJECTIONS ObjectionResponse I have a reporting solution; do I need dashboarding? Yes. Dashboards provide a comprehensive view of your business, rather than relying on multiple, disparate reports. Creating a dashboard sounds time- consuming. Our point and click interface is easy to use. And the interactivity lets one dashboard meet multiple needs. Dashboards are nice to have, but I don’t really need them. Is productivity and informed decision making important to you? Dashboards provide a single, holistic view of current business performance.
