BusinessObjects - an example of Business Intelligence?
According to BusinessObjects[1]
With SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence intuitive information analysis is available – helping your users turn business insights into effective decisions. With a few mouse clicks, users create a query from scratch, format the retrieved information, and easily analyze it to understand underlying trends
This graph was produced in the promotion of the 2009 SAP BusinessObjects User Conference and one would assume it was produced to both inform and impress the potential delegates with the capabilities of the software.
Apart from the mistake of using a pie chart when a sorted list would be much better and the nonsense of colouring the 25 small slices (can you match the slice with the legend?), the "percentages" on the chart add up to 477%! It's depressing to think that many of the stated 42000 users of BO software would think this graph is "really good".
Thanks to Perceptual Edge - The Global BusinessObjects Network Has Pie On Its Face for bringing this to light.
