Introducing WebFOCUS Visual Discovery Analyst Edition

WebFOCUS Visual Discovery Analyst Edition (AE) provides powerful visual business analysis capabilities in a package that requires minimal configuration or IT involvement. Desktop client applications can analyze data loaded ad hoc from WebFOCUS procedures, network database servers, or locally-generated spreadsheets. Guided analysis dashboards can then be published to Microsoft IIS web servers for interactive access using popular browsers, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer®, Apple Safari®, and so on.

This implementation guide provides a basic understanding of the capabilities and architecture of WebFOCUS Visual Discovery Workbench AE projects. Instructions for typical administrative tasks are provided, from installation requirements to the configuration of WebFOCUS Visual Discovery Server AE for secure project access. For more reference information, see the Help topics that can be accessed directly from the WebFOCUS Visual Discovery Workbench AE and the What’s New section.
