• Optimize your migration projects
• Control your platforms over time
• Unlimited metadata analysis
Audit and control your metadata over time and across versions
• Document and audit your platforms in order to prepare migrations• Perform metadata cross-analysis: detect unused documents and universes, dormant or inactive users and duplicate reports• Clean your platforms to migrate relevant content only• Analyze and optimize report structures before conversion• Analyze and clean UNV universes before converting them to UNX• Compare several environments and versions throughout migration: platform comparison before, during and after a migration project• Monitor user activity and session peaks to define licensing needs (CSBL) and named users• Perform impact analysis on documents before deploying a service pack or update (new calculation engine, object or table change)
Optimize your migration projects
• Document the content of your entire platform: documents, universes, auditor data and security data• Track the evolution of your platforms by retaining snapshots of existing metadata• Monitor universe evolution and perform continuous optimization• Monitor the evolution of your report portfolio, spot unused reports as well as similar and duplicate reports• Compare environments over time and monitor changes (universes, documents, security)• Perform BO actions on BO data: auditing, cross-analysis, predictive analysis, comparisons over time• Analyze user activity and audit data: spot inactive users to manage software licenses
Control your platforms over time
• 360Eyes includes universes and a set of 40 preset Webi reports, allowing unlimited data analysis on all your environments
• Create your own custom reports gathering available universe data
• Control and manage report changes with the impact analysis feature (universe objects, database changes, BW, ETL, Data Services changes)

Key benefits
The behavior of the RunningSum function has changed since BI4.1 compare toBI4.0 (aggregations were different). Impact analysis was run on this function tofind out that 25% of reports were using this very function. Then, using querystripping, this rate was reduced to 20%. Qualifying those reports would havebeen too demanding (workload, required time). The upgrade was postponed.
