BusinessObjects Set Analysis helps organizations define, track, and analyze segments that drive the success of business activities. Set Analysis helps organizations understand how each segment contributes to overall performance by simplifying and accelerating the process of segmenting data to create dynamic, customized groupings (e.g. good customers, bad suppliers, at risk customers). With sets, organizations can analyze their impact on overall performance by assigning critical business metrics (such as revenue generated by premium customers). The metrics for these sets can then be shared across the organization through dashboards, providing a consistent foundation for decision making.

proactive rather than reactive decisions to improve their
performance and take pre-emptive action before something
goes wrong. They struggle to use their ever-increasing
stores of data to:
Forecast future business conditions

stakeholders
