Siebel Analytics has several licensed products. These products are described in the following sections.

Siebel Analytics Platform

The Siebel Analytics platform product consists of servers, programs, and tools used to build Analytics applications. Using the Siebel Analytics platform, you can develop your own integrated business intelligence application solution. Installing the Siebel Analytics platform without other Siebel applications is also called Siebel Analytics Stand-Alone.

In this book, any installation or configuration topic that is specifically for a platform installation has the following topic applicability tag after the heading: Analytics License: Platform only.

The following are the Siebel Analytics platform components:

  • Siebel Analytics Server
  • Siebel Analytics Web Server
  • Siebel Analytics Scheduler Server
  • Siebel Data Warehouse Administration Console (Client and Server)
  • Related component programs:
    • Siebel Analytics Server Administration Tool
    • Siebel Analytics Catalog Manager
    • Siebel Analytics ODBC Client
    • Siebel Analytics Client Tools
    • Chart image server

Siebel Analytics Applications

Siebel Analytics Applications are prebuilt business intelligence solutions. Siebel Analytics applications are of two types:

  • Siebel Analytics Applications (CRM)
  • Siebel Analytic Applications (Enterprise)
Siebel Analytics Applications (CRM)

These Analytics applications support Siebel CRM applications, such as Siebel Sales, Siebel Service, and Siebel Marketing. If you already own a Siebel CRM application, you can purchase Siebel Analytics platform and Siebel Analytics applications to work with the Siebel CRM application. For further information, see the System Requirements & Supported Platforms for Siebel Business Analytics Applications.

This book does not usually describe any installation or configuration topic that is specifically for Siebel Analytics installed with Siebel Analytics Applications components. However, in a few cases a topic has the following topic applicability tag after the heading: Analytics License: Analytics Applications only.
